In May of this year I finally got around to range testing my 2012 LEAF. I started with a reading of 270 GIDs & ended with 4 GIDs (btw, 130.3 miles).
So, my problem is that after running my LEAF down to dead, my battery quickly dropped to a full charge of around 255 GIDs & now I'm down to 245-250 GID on a full charge. It seems directly related to running my battery all the way down (yes I did plug it in immediately and charged for an hour or so, to keep it from sitting at empty)
I searched, but couldn't find a GID number where I can expect my first capacity bar loss, but expect it to be coming up. I'm a little over 20,000 miles and right at 10 months ownership.
Have you guys (and gals) experienced a rapid GID loss after running the battery dead? If so, shouldn't we warn people not to do it unless absolutely necessary, as in, don't range test to the point the battery is dead?
If this has already been covered, please point me to the topic & I'll delete this one.
