Did not read all the posts so don't know if this was mentioned - mine is WATT*CAR

I bought the Antigravity Jump Starter - very nice product, about $100. However I have been intrigued about using one of their lithium iron batteries when the 12 v dies - anyone using these? http://antigravitybatteries.com/

At 2160 miles, my avg speed is 20.6 mph. I use my Leaf mostly for local driving, so not surprising to me.

This is what I purchased: http://www.amazon.com/Antigravity-Batteries-Micro-Start-Multi-Function-Personal/dp/B00FDYYK4A/ref=sr_sp-atf_image_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1398134092&sr=1-1 There's one a little cheaper but I wanted all the attachments; fits perfectly in the center console.

I spoke to a person at AntiGravity Batteries about their current products and the Leaf, and he stated that their current batteries are made for starting. As we all know, this is not needed for the Leaf. He did say that they are working on a Leaf-specific battery that will pack a lot of AHs...

All good questions - I plan to call them to get some answers, especially re BMS.

I never let them get that far. My approach is real simple: As I talk about the car, I ask whomever I am speaking with "How much of your driving is within a 15 mile radius?" Invariably it's between 90 to 95%. So why have two gas guzzlers to go local? For any two car family in a suburban area...

I saw your battery post in some other thread - elegant but very expensive solution. I've been looking at these li ion batteries: http://antigravitybatteries.com/oem-case-clymb/ The weight savings is incredible - biggest battery weighs 5 pounds!

According to the Service Manual, the "dark current" should be 50 ma or less (May be for late 2013 models). This means that (if my math is right) a fresh 24 AHr battery should last for 20 days; cut that in half and let's say 10 days. If your battery is older, it will not hold as much charge as a...

No - just pulled it up.

I checked this out - as of a few days ago, it's there in the garage by Wine Port next to ShopRite but not activated yet.

Yes - I guessed 2 amps, but it's still a guess. Any takers??

After looking around and thinking about it, I decided to spend the money for this one: http://www.amazon.com/Antigravity-Batteries-Micro-Start-Multi-Function-Personal/dp/B00FDYYK4A/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; There are clearly cheaper ways to go, but the...

I would like to see some stations in Greenwich - Perot Library, Greenwich Library are two great choices.

I would be surprised if everything that was on would boot up in one shot - normally you would have a staggered start sequence, so the computer would boot up first, then some pre-determined priority sequence would kick in. I'm guessing but I doubt that the start-up draw would be more than 2 amps...

Anybody have data on how much the amp draw is on start-up? I have the service manual but can not find any data on this.

12v battery voltage while driving means nothing re the battery's health. Here is a simple battery test: You can get a rough idea of a battery’s sulfation by monitoring voltages as shown below: 100% charge – 12.7 volts 75% charge – 12.4 volts 50% charge – 12.2 volts 25% charge – 12.0 volts...

Interesting idea - I looked around and you can get a lead-acid backup battery for about $15. Looking around some more for li-ion backup batteries (lighter) I found this 12v 6.8 Ah for $18 on Ebay...

Anyone have something like this for 12v battery: http://www.amazon.com/Antigravity-Batteries-Micro-Start-Multi-Function-Personal/dp/B00FDYYK4A/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t Seems to me a better option than jumper cables as Leaf does not need to turn over a starter.

Thanks for the kind comments! Now I keep my 110v cable in the tire hole - have not used it since I put in the 220v. The jack is in the access panel on the left side, so usable space under the platform is maximized. Thinking seriously to buy a portable jump starter rather than jumper cables -...
