HI,
I'm new this this forum and relatively new Leaf owner.
My daily maximum battery charge is decreasing at an alarming rate in 6 months.

What are some tips to bring it back up if that is possible?

I drive on ECO, mostly highway driving, minimal use of AC, just started trying to not fully charging each night.

Any other thoughts?

THanks

Which model leaf do you drive (year and trim)?

Also, how low is the state of charge before you plug it in? How far do you drive daily?

Keeping the car parked for hours/days, under the sun, with a full charge is one of the worst things you can do to it, along with keeping the car deeply discharged (less than 20%) and parked for long periods at a time.

Also, do you charge with the regular 110V outlet, or do you use a L2 EVSE?

Anyway, need more info.

Also, someone might recommend that you do a few full-charge-discharge cycles, but without knowing how you use your car now, not sure if it's really a possibility.

Edit: Oh, also, what region do you live in? hot climates affect the battery more severely.
