The battery in my 2013 leaf was recently replaced under warranty as the capacity went below 9 bars. Since then the indicated range has been 108/111 miles.

Does this mean it was replaced with a 30 kwh battery pack?
 
not sure but mine MK1 (with 12 bars) never got over 85 a 90 miles but you can only see your miles after some time as the system settles
 
Time flies. It was replaced in February. Now I think of it initially it would indicate a max of 100 miles. I drive 20 miles each weekday so I think it must be settled.

So, you are still seeing REAL range north of 100 miles after three months?
Yep.

OP, if you used Leaf Spy, the info from that (e.g. AHr, gids at a 100% charge coupled w/SOH and Hx) could help us determine once and for all .

No.

It means your drive efficiently.
Look at your miles/kWh meter
 
I just ordered an ODBII scanner. However I have 4.1 miles/kWh so that makes sense for a 25 kWh battery.

The rated capacity is 24kwh, and the actual usable capacity is more like 22kwh when new. That translates to something like a 90 mile range.

No, my 2011 Leaf actually read 115mi in ECO in the first two months (Aug-Oct). Now it reads around 80 mi or so. It's definitely temperature and driving behavior. Almost all of my driving is in town, but in the winter I now max out around 60 mi (GOM, not actual miles).

If you mean the range indicated on the dash board, then you need to learn to never believe that number. That display is called the GOM (guess-o-meter) around here for a reason: the value it shows is a guess based upon recent drives and recent conditions.
 
My ODBII dongle came. Here's a screenshot. I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

Your image doesn't work. You may be able to post at places likes https://imgur.com/.

What we're interested in is the screen that looks like http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/?title=Leaf_Spy_Pro&redirect=no#Screen_1 when connected (green Connected cycling in the lower right). Also, we'd be interested to the the number of gids on a full charge (http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/?title=Leaf_Spy_Pro&redirect=no#Screen_4). You may need to tap the gids field until we get a number and not some useless %.

You can press and hold an in the upper right to find out most tappable locations.
 
The numbers you are talking about (110 miles range on the guess o meter) are good for a pretty new battery. When My car was new, the GOM showed 125 miles range.

The leafspy is also good... No worries..
 
How about http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/?title=Leaf_Spy_Pro&redirect=no#Screen_1?

You should put your car in READY mode (green car with arrows). It looks like it wasn't given the 11.84 volt 12 volt bus voltage.

If it's 280 gids on a full charge (which it looks like with the SOC 97.3%), that's what I expect for a brand new 24 kWh battery.
 
When I said indicated I mean GOM. I'm new :) I've not done any real measurements.

Here are some more screenshots.

This is the type of readout you can get with very efficient driving. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AocGc-txowvahaNWCZ7xPbXC3KZRlg
I had to take a drive across the valley one evening without time to charge up before leaving. I had to drive very carefully to get to my destination and then back home. I arrived with the battery level at 16%. After an overnight charge to 80%, that is what the display showed the next day.

Wow, for a 24kwh battery, the GOM shows 100 miles at 82% battery? that's darn good! Better than my Nissan LEAF 2017 with 30kwh battery!
 
A couple youtube'rs that have had warranty replacements since mid 2018 are showing the same 100+ GOM readings. It stands to reason at some point they might not bother producing the 24kwh packs anymore so you get a free upgrade.. maybe already the case.
How's this for a question... what's the chances that a used $10k 2015 with a bar or 2 gone could get a 40kwh pack in a year or so if the stars align?
