I lost the 4th bar at 43,000 miles last summer here in San Diego. Still amazed some are getting so much more from their battery in the same area. Maybe the battery was defective. Anyway I am happy with my new battery.

So, what's the best way to guarantee I can lose two more bars before the battery warranty runs out on, yes you guessed it, 9/11/2016

More temperature.
Vacationing all summer in Phoenix is one option.

But there are other ways.
A lot more multiple DCQC per day.
Each causes 5 F to 10F rise.

Do you have a really hot garage?

I'm in SoCal. Santa Clarita area.
I'll keep it outside, and make sure I charge it 100% all the time, every night.

Depending on garage temperature outside may reduce capacity loss.
In particular outside night time temperature is usually much cooler than a closed garage.

Day time temperature in garage or outdoors depends on the garage and it's insulation and attic temperature.
In my case the closed garage temperature is often higher than outdoors in the hotter summer months.

Recommendations for a Bluetooth ODB2?
I have an android phone.

This is the one I bought:

Received it today, and it doesn't work.

In what respect? Won't pair? Won't register in LEAFSpy?

Could the warranty be void if the annual battery checks were not registered?
Would be a shame to hasten the death only to find out you're stuck with that battery (or buy a new one)

is there a way to tell if all the checks were done?
