SOC-Meter DIY Information

No, I took it out. Why tempt fate...

Anyone take their LEAF in for service, battery check, update, or whatever, and leave the SOC meter installed and connected?
Dealer or tech comments?

An excellent decision! I love mine and find it to be very useful!

I'm quite comfortable driving by the number of bars, so I don't think it will be much use to me on a daily basis. But I do think that I can use it to look for reduced pack capacity as it ages. I figure that I'll see a GID or two go away long before I see the first bar go away.

All this was prompted by coming up on 15k miles and thinking about the battery pack health check coming up. By the way, I learned that the manual clearly says the check is every 12 months, regardless of miles. (3 more months to wait...

I actually use it as much for the other features as I do for SOC... With some of the additions that Gary is considering for future software release, I expect that will be the case even more so...
