I'm trying to understand the advantages/disadvantages of L1/L2 charging in terms of battery life. (Are there any?)
More specifically, I was planning on Level 1 charging--at work, no cost--for 80-90% of the power needs for my 2015 Leaf S w/QC. However, "Nissan recommends using normal (L2) charging for usual charging" and, also according to Nissan, "Trickle (L1) charging is not recommended for regular use." (2015 LEAF OWNER'S MANUAL, p. CH-7)
Is Nissan implying that L1 will be detrimental to battery life? Why would they caution against using L1 for "regular use"?
Can anyone direct me to the appropriate thread here and/or online?
Thanks!
