Hi Guys,
I just bought a new 2015 Leaf SV and I'm loving it, but I'm concerned about the fact that Leaf Spy only indicates 56.6 AHr capacity. I know a new battery should be 66 AHr.
I'm in Canada, and he car only has 500km (300mi) on it and is ~1 week old. The first day I got the car, the estimated range was 160km (171 in ECO mode). Now on a full charge in ECO mode it only shows ~138km range. The battery meter shows all 12 bars and charge is 100%. When we first got the car, the average was 5.5 km/kWh and we managed to get it up to 6.6 km/kWh, so we are not driving it hard (always ECO mode actually).
A friend of mine has a 2012 SV with 15000 km and Leaf Spy shows 59Ahr capacity for his.
Do I have a bad battery, or is there something different in a 2015 that Leaf Spy cannot handle?
How does Leaf Spy determine AHr? Does it calculate or is it something read directly from CAN bus that is calculated by Leaf computer?
I plan to take it back to the dealer for a capacity test, but I want to be informed before I go in.
I would appreciate some help/advice!
Thanks,
Andrew
