I don't like renting, so a tow dolly might be in my future. The worst part of renting for me is tow vehicle qualification. My Sienna AWD has the best brakes and stability when towing of any vehicle I have owned. But the rental yards say: "You need a pickup to tow our wood chipper" or...
@w7gz:
(1) Regarding the auction 2012 car showing 12 bars: were you able to use Leaf Spy to get an idea of that battery's SOH? Is Leaf Spy simply reading the BMS data, so the BMS reset would have caused Leaf Spy to report a very high percentage SOH? Do we have any other diagnostic tools...
Thanks for the links. It is good to see Green Tec supporting the Leaf. But for $6500 for a 24 kWh, I would like them to include a little better warranty and initial SOH. I'm still headed down the path of finding a salvage yard Leaf battery to swap in. There won't be any warranty with it, but...
@MikeinPA thanks for adding that. I had looked at the diode idea a while back, and I will keep that on the list. My next step is to try a different EVSE. A neighbor offered his, but the roads are a snowy mess this week, and I don't want to make a mess where his wife parks her Ariya...
From my research I understood the PDM
Hi Cornbinder, thanks for your reply. I'm in KC. I've driven through Lyman. I'm a big fan of your area's Rail-To-Trails bike paths.
1) you could look for a later model car (wreck) and salvage the battery. Problem is: condition of said battery unknown...
I have a 2013 SL, battery has 28 miles of range left, and the L2 charging does not work. 28 miles isn't enough for how I want to use it. 60 miles of range would be enough.
From what research I have done, a 2015 SL would have a compatible 24 kWh battery and PDM. A 24 kWh battery with 70% SOH...
