An additional question: Has there been any word of anyone successfully getting their supposedly-fully-refundable deposit back? Five months after requesting a refund and many emails to them later, I have received zero responses from them.

The dealer diagnosed the problem as a drain from the Body Control Module. They swear it is not related to the 24kWh battery being replaced and the timing is just coincidental. Apparently it will be an expensive fix and a new BCM is not going to be available until late-summer. Not thrilled, but...

I took the 12V battery in for a full load test. It passed no problem. I'm going to keep it disconnected when not in use to prevent damage from draining it. The mystery drain has continued even with the audio fuse removed, so I am out of theories and running out of options. I could get a...

Once again, thanks for all the replies. My car does not have the cold weather package, so it sounds like this could not affect me. I also checked the invoice and confirmed using the above part numbers that my car correctly received the battery for a Leaf without the cold weather package. I...

Thanks for the responses! The traction battery was degraded to about 60-65% original capacity. Unless I'm missing something (and I very well might be), I wouldn't expect that alone to cause stress on the 12V. It's possible that there was more to it, but it's impossible to know given how little...

About a month ago, I got my 2011 Leaf back from the dealer. The main service they provided was installing a new 24kWh battery, but they also did some service bulletins work too, including disabling the TCU. Since I got it back, I've been finding the 12v battery dead every few days. The first...

I got a replacement battery this month for my 2011. Total price including labor and all taxes and fees was under $6,000 ($4,500 for the battery, just under $1,500 for the labor and tax, etc.). Took a few weeks for the battery to arrive, and the people at the dealership (not the technician) were...

I posted this in the other thread, but I thought this should go here too... I've been trying to get a refund since mid/late-February and have sent several emails and received no replies. Their website (just updated in the last week or two) says this about refunds: Depending on how you read...

I've been trying to get a refund since mid/late-February and have sent several emails and received no replies. Their website (just updated in the last week or two) says this about refunds: Depending on how you read that, you might get a reply same-day or within two weeks. Either way, they have...

For anyone interested in the actual total costs involved... I was quoted $4,500 for the battery (after $1,000 mandatory trade-in credit for the original battery), plus a little over $1,100 for labor. There's also the obligatory state sales tax. I'll be walking away with a new battery (and new...

I drive a 2011 Leaf and my battery is at 8 bars. In the winter, I can barely get 20-25 miles on a charge (with the heater off!). This is extremely welcome news. I called my local Nissan dealer. They don't have an EV technician, but hope to train someone on it within the next year. I could wait...

John, I tried to put down a deposit, but kept getting errors. When I went to my basket, it said that it was empty, but on other pages it showed it as having the $150 deposit in the basket. When I tried to checkout, I got the following error: "There are some issues with the items in your cart...
