What is the climate where you live? If you have harsh Winters, or even just Cold ones, you may want to consider an AGM battery instead.

- dead battery can be immediately addressed by jumpstart and then either driving or plug-in charging or just idling Plugging in won't do a good job of charging the battery, nor will just running the car. The latter may charge it well enough to drive it, but it's best to recharge a drained battery f...

This depressing news is about 2 weeks old now, but here it is: Nissan is now admitting, in their latest sales pitch email for Nissan Connect, that they are indeed ending the free version for Leafs made after MY 2020. There are two versions being offered , "Premium" (IIRC) for about $17 a m...

If the car is left plugged in for many hours after charging ends, that can drain the 12 volt battery, and THAT can result in bizarre errors and error messages. More on charging: think of the charging cable or station as a smart wall outlet. It checks for ground faults and an unreliable power supply,...

Leave it to them to fail to distinguish between "chargers" (sic) and "fast chargers."

Welcome. You don't have to worry about a damaging overcharge - the car will only accept as much charge as it takes to reach 100%, plus a little more to equalize the battery if needed. It isn't recommended that you leave a Leaf sitting at 100% in hot weather, or leave it that way for weeks, but that'...

Most Leafs will behave as Gerry and Learjet have described, but there are a few that chronically undercharge their 12 volt batteries. That is why I suggested an external battery maintainer. If an outlet is available, then I still suggest that. If not, then follow the above advice.

He meant that if you treat the battery in a way that encourages degradation, you may well "win" a new battery under warranty. More likely now, Nissan would, if you qualify for a new battery, buy the car back, instead. What encourages degradation? Frequent fast charges (when the battery is ...

EVs have no "starter" as such, but they do have big contactors that have to be closed with power from the 12 volt battery to "start" the car.

It's not you. It may be spammers who think that they can get the spam in later (they can't) or maybe it is AIs...
