I looked up everywhere, asked at the dealership, and... so far haven't got any definitive answer about what battery warranty actually means...
So far the only definitive answer I got was that if in 8 years the battery will die completely, it will be replaced under the warranty, but what if it is at 20% right before 8 years? using common sense it should be replaced as well, but so far I can't find any legal binding to that... the only terms I found was "expected remaining capacity" "under normal use" and remaining capacity may vary depending on usage...
Have anyone gave any thought or got any information that actually tells when the battery SHOULD be replaced under warranty and when it should not? Something like "If after 5 years remaining capacity is below 70% battery will be repaired under warranty to restore capacity to at least 90%"?
From what I have read/heard so far, even if you have 10% remaining capacity after 5 years, but you lost it gradually, Nissan theoretically can legally argue that it is because your usage pattern and it should not be repaired under battery warranty.
