2640 miles on my 2015 S
Mfg: 9/14 - Purchased: 11/14

Stats via LeafStat @ 100%:

GIDs: 292
kWh: 22.63
SOC: 97.44%
SOH: 97.17%
HX: 102.88%
Ahr: 64.38
Avg Batt Temp: 40.2F

HX has increased slightly since purchase (was around 101.74% for the first month). But otherwise, all these numbers have remained exactly the same at every reading (except batt temp of course).

Does anything seem out of sorts with these numbers at this mileage? Seems like others around here who are fortunate enough to still have 292 GIDs usually have SOH closer to 100%, am I right?

Our driving & charging habits:
On weekdays my wife drives it to school 48miles round trip. From 100% charge, she gets home most days with 25% capacity left +\- 5% depending on the chill factor here in upstate NY and how much heat she uses. In spring/fall, the same commute results in about 45% capacity left (at least that was the case with our 2013 that was totaled). Because of the length of her commute, we have no choice but to charge all the way to 100%, but I use the timer and/or the delay function on our Versicharge to complete the charge as close to her departure time as possible. When she gets home I plug it in for 30-60 mins to get it in the 50-60% range, where it stays until the rest of the charge kicks in during the wee hours.

On the weekend, I try to keep the charge between 30-80% and we enjoy visiting various establishments in the capital region that offer free charges when we're out shopping or whatever (several restaurants and shopping centers here have L2 plugs)

Hoping this battery can last nicely for me, I think we're in an ideal climate for it, but want to make sure none of our habits will speed up the process more than normal? Thanks.
 
I think our battery (in our 2015 LEAF S) is heading for an early demise; here is some data after only about 600 miles:

12/28/2014, 215 miles, 1QCs+10L1s/L2s: 97.3% SOC = 292 GIDS, 100% SOH

01/31/2015, 652 miles, 1QCs+24L1s/L2s: 97.3% SOC = 281 GIDS, 96% SOH

I understand that degradation won't be linear, but this seems to be VERY different than what others are reporting.

Hmm.

We had a similar experience, although not that fast. I think ours was a result of it being manufactured in 4/14 and us buying it in August. It likely sat in a dealer lot for 3 months in the summer at 100% charge. Had I known better at the time, I would have demanded the newest leaf on the lot, but oh well. After 5000 miles our best 100% charge was 278 and other numbers had dropped as well. But now the numbers are creeping back up? Just had a 283 and Hx and Ahr have been edging up as well. No idea why? The toughest thing is that if you look at this thread, there is no Rhyme or reason to why som people are reporting high Gids and others are not. There are people that live in hot states and QC all of the time. The best that I've been able to deduce is that the battery likes to be cycled through, likes to rebalance cells once in a while at 100% and doesn't like just sitting there it full charge over long periods of time. We try to keep it between 30% and 90% during the week and give it a good 100% charg once a week and let it balance. Guessing game? We bought rather than leased so I'm a bit more concerned. If I can get $13K for it in 3 years I'll be happy.

Ours was manufactured in September, and we bought it in December, so I don't think it sat in particularly hot weather with a full charge much.

One thing that we can't evaluate very well is when the battery was manufactured and how it was handled before it was installed and we took delivery. I wonder if that's a big factor.

One other thing: someone claimed that the Hx, max GIDs, and SOH will vary quite a bit as the controls "learn" the battery, and that I shouldn't worry too much until I have a few thousand miles' worth of data.

The good news and bottom line is that I purchased the car, and I plan to drive it a decade or more (as we do with all our cars). The battery warranty is 8 years/96,000 miles, so if this battery really goes bad in a year or two, I'll get a new or repaired battery. Even better, perhaps, would be if the battery went bad in 3-4 years, and Nissan replaced it with the latest technology battery with a much greater range.

My observations are about the same, but only intuitive. The car seems to do better on range if driven every day. At the present time, mine is not being driven frequently due to driving my other car in the winter slop. It is used for local errands on days when the roads are clean and not much visible road salt. It just seems to take a few charge-discharge cycles to get things working again at best potential. It's nothing scientific and no doubt rewarming the battery mass plays a role.

When in regular daily use it is charged to 100%, preconditioned, and then discharged to roughly LBW/18% to complete my daily 74 mile commute cycle. This is a late '14 (5/14 build date) that was in-service 1 week after being built. I only recently connected to Leaf Spy, showing max GID @ 275, SOH 96%, Hx 97.4% AHr 63.4, 0 QC, 415 L1/L2 at 13,000 miles.

How does my 2015 have a build date of 4/14, and your 2014 have a build date of 5/14? That makes no sense.

You are not understanding the battery warranty. The capacity warranty on the battery is 5years/60,000 miles and with that in mind, you must lose 4 bars for your battery to be replaced under warranty. This equates to about 67% of total range remaining. Currently the folks who are getting replacement batteries under warranty are geting brand new ones, but that likely won't continue because they will start refurbish the batteries from those returns and future warranties will get refurbed batteries. The warranty only guarantees a replacement battery that raises capacity above 9 bars. The 8 year/96k warranty you speak of only conderns other issues with the battery such as it shorts out or something. This too was miscommunication to me by my dealer and resulted to me basically threatening then with my wife trashing them on the Apple EV thread to all of the 450 other EV owners at Apple. The end result was that they increased my extended warranty to 8yr/100k miles at the same price I paid for the lower one and threw in a couple of extras for the car such as a hatch cover. That battery defredation issue is a tough one, make me wish I leased. I'm still 90% sure that I'll wind up better off in the end with a purchase but if I leased, I wouldn't care at all about the battery defredation. This is why my biggest hope is that the price of replacement packs drops even slightly to around $4k. If that's the case, I'll buy a new pack in 4-5 years and drive the car for another 4-5 after that.
 
Thanks or the tip on the OBD2 Wi-Fi - will get one this week.

Meantime, I was trying to figure out the Charge Timers on my 2015 SV, and there is no 80% Option.
Also, the Times & days seem to be Counterintuitive, meaning, if you set timer for 7pm to 12 noon, and set days M-F, I would guess the days not applied (Sat, Sun) would charge whenever plugged in as they are not restricted buy the timer . Apparently not the case as the car will just skip Sat & Sun, and not charge until the next charge time on Monday - strange. So I just set Timer 2 for San/Sun 12am - 12am so it charges whenever plugged in. Im thinking it would be easier to get a 40a digital load timer & set it up for OFF PEAK and not worry about the car timer at all.

I also contacted Nissan (Nissan Chat) & chatted with Leaf Specialist regarding 80% charging... their reply,

"Shawn H: That was for the older models, that is why as I stated above we took out the option to stop charging at
80% because we found it didn't hurt the battery to charge to 100%"

So I confirmed that charging to 100% daily, even after charging stops, and battery sits at 100% SOC for 8 hours until use it wont cause any measurable damage. He confirmed that.

His only warning was to avoid heat if possible, vis QC to more than 80%, hot days, etc... as the heat is damaging for any Li-ion battery

However, thats Nissan, and I assume them to be overly optimistic?

But, We drive the Leaf every day, 50 plus miles.. weekends up to 100 plus with a few L2 charges during the day, and a QC if Im near one (all free with the NCTC card!) - so we run it pretty good and the battery gets a workout.
Im hopping, based on lots of info here, that a heavier use of the batteries might be better for battery longevity?? Perhaps just wishful thinking

Side Note: Chevy BOLT is on the horizon... BEV.... 200 mile range, very "electric" look. We'll see where its at when my lease is up. If the Leaf was not up to task and the Bolt is out (nationally & not a limited market)... might just make the switch - look it up, its a cool car. Its gonna be stiff competition for Nissan for sure.
 
My only concern with the 100% charge situation is that we know that heat is bad for the battery and we know that high capacity in the battery makes it hotter. When we first got the car (during the end of summer). My wife would plug in when she got to work and charge till full (done by 10:30AM) and then the car would sit there until she left at 5:00. Sometimes she'd make a lunch run, drain 5-8% and then come back and plug back in. The service guy at my dealership said that this is a no-no. He said you don't want to top off the car. Best to let it drop sub 70% before plugging back in. Now I'm trying to navigate the charge habits, and every time I ask her to do something different, I get "Seriously! I don't care. Why does this have to be so difficult?!" Which I suppose is a fair response, but I'd love to use Apple's free power than my home charger that I pay for. I think that in the long run, charging to 100% is fine, but I will definitely tell her to avoid charging it to 100% during the summer and leaving it parked there for 6-7 hours. Maybe she plugs in after lunch during the summer? I am also hesitant about Nissan response on the 100% charge. To them, an extra 2-5% of loss over 60K miles may be insignificant, to me, not so much.

As far as charge timers go, be glad you have the SV, the S charge timer is an even bigger pain. Basically you have to guess when it will be done and set the timer accordingly. At least you have an App that will tell you the charge percentage.

My next EV? I saw the Bolt, it seems interesting. I think the decision to buy the next one will be a consideration of a few different factors for me. (1) What kind of value I can get for my 2015 S, and how many bars/miles I have on it? (2) Price of replacement battery for my Leaf, will they drop? If so, maybe I keep it? (3) What's available in May 2017 (when my payments are done)? Bolt should be available, Leaf Gen2 as well, Tesla 3? Maybe? (4) Has any of those manufacturers hit the 200,000 limits for the federal tax credit at that point? (6) Who has the best deal? We got a corporate discount on our leaf due to some partnership with Apple, so if they are the only ones offering that in a few years, then Leaf Gen2 it is.

what you need to tell us is how much range she has left when she parks the car at work. is it enough to cover her lunch run plus a bit for unexpected detours?

is there ever a time that she needs to run unexpected errands during work?

otherwise she should plug in after lunch so her charge is down just before she leaves for home.

it is sticky wicket when we answer questions like this. you have pretty much answered your own question but there is always the unexpected. What you lose in battery longevity is probably nothing compared to peace of mind. I NEVER leave work unless its a dire emergency (which I have never had) simply because of my situation but I know others who do so 3-10 times a year mostly because of sick children. Get the picture?

Yup - one of the reasons I got the SV. That and Car wings & GPS. However....
- CARWINGS was not as cool as I thought. Its still fun, and nice to see the charge, start charge & turn on Climate, BUT, it only turns Climate control ON/OFF. You cant set temps, or select AC or Heat... you have to leave Heat or AC on when you turnoff the car. Then carwings lets you turn it on to whatever it was set at. I can walk into the garage & turn it on. Also, doesn't show % charge, just the graph & Miles - SOOO Close to being really cool! But next year when ATT drops 2g it may all go away!

-GPS... this is the worst GPS I have ever seen. Horrible controls, counterintuitive, and cant tell whats goin on most of the time (why not just license out Garmin & be done with it - I would have gladly paid a couple hundred bucks for a Gamin option! And finding a charge station - Forget it, I just use Plug Share on my phone. The least it SHOULD do is tell you how far from home you are at all times, like a running miles in the corner somewhere. Again, god idea, poor execution.

FUN STUFF - Power Usage screens COOL! I drive around with that most of the time.

Excellent criteria for the next ELE car - I agree. We test drove a Volt last week. Cool, but not near as appealing carrying around a gas engine. I would just rent a car on the rare occasion I drive someplace far away on vacation or something. We really want to stay 100% Battery Electric.

Regarding my Charging habits,
I am gonna follow one simple strategy:

1) Charge to 100% when I get bellow 60%.
2) Drive it every day as much as I can/need to
3) Stay in ECO & B mode most of the time unless I wanna have some fun

If the battery wont last 5 years doing that, then the battery needs to be re-designed with different technology, or unfortunately, I will get a different BEV all together. Come on NISSAN, make it happen!

Its a great car that I would like to keep... forever, as long as the battery situation works out!

That's not correct. You select your preferred temperature in the Settings. This is an improvement on the early vehicles where the default remote climate control temp was 77F. I have mine set to 72F.

3) Stay in ECO & B mode most of the time unless I wanna have some fun
FYI, you can have just as much fun in either mode ;) . ECO does not de-tune the car's performance; it simply changes the pedal mapping. In "D" mode the pedal is more sensitive to the first couple of inches of travel. You can get equal acceleration in ECO you just have to move your foot a little bit further. Some people find that unbearable but a linear response makes so much more sense to me that I much prefer the control I have with ECO mode over what I consider to be the overly-twitchy D mode pedal mapping. Both modes have full-pedal mapped to 100% power.

OK - I didn't realize that - thanks. Just checked it out. So when you start climate control remotely it will use Heat/AC to get to that set temp - thats cool!

Really wish they had a quick reference booklet for this stuff - Im still reading through the "Encyclopedia Leaf" that came with the car - must have missed it or something.

I like the "twitchy" torque in D as opposed to B when I wanna just zip around. B kinda buffers it like you said reduces some of its responsiveness, or, 'Crisp Throttle" feeling - which is what I refer to as having fun - and is what an electric car is all about performance wise - to feel that instant Torque!
B is by no means "unbearable" - I use it most of the time anyway - just feels like a regular small engine compact car. personal preference I suppose.

Interesting Note: I build Hot rods/Muscle cars... my current 67 Mustang has 347 Stroker, 450HP, 460 TQ.
A straight mashing of the pedal from a stop takes a second or so to fell all that torque slam you back in the seat (unless I launch at 3,000 RPM) and its LOUD. The Leaf has all its Torque instantaneously - even though its far less than 460, it FEELS like more off the line to about 30 mph - so it is just as much fun to drive in D as the Mustang - except its whisper quiet... which I think is amazing and Im still having to get used to a relationship of Lots of Torque & no Noise!

Yep; glad we have a choice.

Just for clarity, B mode and Eco are two separate things. B-mode increases the strength of regenerative braking. ECO does the throttle-mapping and also imposes limits on climate control energy consumption. So you can have your sensitive throttle of "D", but also the stronger regen of "B" at the same time if you prefer. In early models these functions were all combined under ECO -- it was all or none.
 
Agreed - having separate B mode for increased Regen and Eco Mode for remapped acceleration & reduced energy use for climate is a very good thing.

I always have it B mode - why not.
I use D now & then as I described earlier.

Sometimes I put in in D and try & maintain a steady Eco reading over 4... its something to do on longer trips :mrgreen:

My wife comes home from work with and Eco average of 5!... credit where credit is due ;)
 
Finally got my OBD2 and Leaf Stat.... kinda disappointed at the results

MFG Date: 8,22,14
Lease Date: 1,22,15
Charge Note: from 47%, 2 hour charge - Home L2

GIDS: 268
kwh: 20.77
% SOC: 97.25%
% SOH: 86.10%
% HX: 87.003%
Ahr: 50.04
Avg Bat Tmp: 68°
- Leaf Dash: 100%
- Leaf Range: 88 miles
- Odometer: 368 miles

Last last charge to 100% yielded 93 miles (didn't have Leaf Stat Yet)

Im really concerned about the State of HEalth being 86% Looks like by battery is already declining quickly.

not sure What HX is... or any of the other reading really... just that all my numbers look very low compared to other new 2015 Leafs, with 1,000 or more miles than I have.

Curious, If I have a bad battery - will Nissan do anything about now? I imagine I would have to wait until its 70%, or 9 bars for the Capacity warranty to kick in?

Yeah my numbers are lower than others as well, but not this low, and not with so few miles on the car. I don't know what to tell you. I would definitely start complaining ASAP, but odds are that they won't do anything. Did you lease or buy?

Last last charge to 100% yielded 93 miles (didn't have Leaf Stat Yet)

Im really concerned about the State of HEalth being 86% Looks like by battery is already declining quickly.

not sure What HX is... or any of the other reading really... just that all my numbers look very low compared to other new 2015 Leafs, with 1,000 or more miles than I have.

Curious, If I have a bad battery - will Nissan do anything about now? I imagine I would have to wait until its 70%, or 9 bars for the Capacity warranty to kick in?

I have some "bad" numbers for my 2015 LEAF S, too, but your values look worse.

After 1QC+30L1/L2, 800 miles, my SOH is about 96%, and my Hx value had dropped all the way down to 92%, but it seems to be inching up as the weather has been a little warmer, and is now closer to 93%.

I was stressing about this, too, but here's my take, now: Let's say we DO have "bad" batteries that will only be good for a few years. That means that Nissan will have to replace our batteries under warranty, so it's likely that we'll get a fresh start in a few years. Better yet, what if, as part of the warranty remedy, Nissan offers to upgrade to the 2017 battery, which is rumored to have a range of 150 miles? I could live with that.

Let's keep sharing and comparing data and see what happens.
