I have a 2013 Leaf SV. Delivered 6/18/13. In late March of this year (2014), I noticed I have already lost one capacity bar at about 4000 total miles, approximately 200 hours of total operating time, only about 9 months old.
I am using the 120V Level 1 charger than came with the car; only charge to 80%. The Leaf is kept in the garage when not in operation. I live in the North Texas area.
Could this be a software indication problem, or a bad battery cell? Could the battery already be down 15% (first bar loss)? I have not yet taken to the dealer because I wanted to do some background checking on this forum so that I would be more knowledgeable before listening to what the dealer might say.
