Gen one LEAF pack is sealed, and cooled by conduction, so the increased cooling effect from air movement when driving (never reported, AFAIK) is not likely to be very significant.LeftieBiker said:...The Leaf's pack does get cooled when the car is moving and the air temp is below the pack temp. That wouldn't happen with a stationary car.
All reports so far indicate Gen two packs will do the same.
Obviously, if you are using any pack in V to H or V to G you would want to take both ambient and battery temperatures into account when choosing your charge/discharge cycle, both kW rate and depth of charge/discharge.
