I wish someone would write a program that cycled the car automatically basically turning it on and off and using heater

Or not. :lol:
Did you notice any strange behavior like we have - occasional AHr reading with extreme upward swings?

I'll take anything from 0.25AHr fairly frequently, to single instances of 0.5AHr.
I've had two "extremes" - one a little over 0.5AHr and one a little over 0.35AHr, and many around 0.25AHr over the last 30 days.
But the Leaf has no gears, so it wouldn't really matter would it? Power in and power out would still be the same to drive it. If the wheels actually raise the height of the vehicle or cause more air drag, I could see that hurting the mileage.edatoakrun said:For those of you who drive more-than-average miles per year who really want to defraud Nissan and get your battery replaced under the five year/60,000 mile nine capacity bar warrantee, I'd suggest an alternative that will not require any extreme vandalism, but it requires some advanced planning.
Replacing the stock tires with those of a larger circumference will lower the odometer's tally of miles driven, compared to the actual miles you drive.
This will probably also reduce the actual m/kWh efficiency slightly, mostly due to higher rolling/aero resistance, but what the hell, the small increase in battery cycling will also slightly accelerate battery capacity degradation, and that's your goal anyway, right?

You need to be sure P3227 software update has been done before doing any waiting.sasun said:...
Since my warranty expires in April next year, should I delay replacing the battery in the hopes of getting a better chemistry?

That is what I initially thought too.theoldchum said:Tim, the warranty is on the car not the purchaser. The settlement terms of the class action suit clearly state that the battery packs will no longer be restored and will be replaced with a new battery pack.

But the recent discussion and careful review of the settlement seems to indicate that is incorrect.
See:

In finalizing the settlement after mediation they revised to make it clear only the 13,000 originally sent the Class notification letter are in the Class.
Those not in the class only get the repair to nine bars requirement that Nissan gave everyone with a LEAF including 2013 forward.
Now they may keep giving new packs on all vehicles.
But for many LEAFs the capacity warranty requirement is repair to nine bars for the warranty duration.
Only the 13,000 that did not Opt Out are guaranteed new battery.
