My solar battery bank had gotten lower than I would have liked one evening and I thought that I could simply recharge it via the inverter I have hooked up to my leaf. It did not work. I'm hoping someone can explain why this isn't working. From the Leaf I am using the following inverter...

I found that a 12v 75amphour battery I have is at 50% charge. I was thinking I could go out and get a trickle charger and spend some money to get the battery up again. But then I got to thinking that maybe I could do it for free if I used the leaf to recharge it. Would the car's voltage...

Just wondering if that could be a way to help a leaf that needed a few more miles to get to a charger or home. lets say my son gets stranded 10 miles from home. Plug into the inverter on gas car and charge it for a bit. Could the ice's running car battery keep up? Err 120v. Do they make a 12-240?

Anyone got a picture of what's inside the motor? I was showing the car to someone and they asked me what's actually in there. I can't imagine what it's like without oil, pistons, etc. How does it work?

Does something exist? Can it if it doesn't? I've been looking at battery tenders for my solar battery bank and saw how they rejuvenate batteries and wondered if something could be done to rejuvenate the main battery pack of the leaf.

I have been learning via this forum that the 12v battery needs to be monitored to avoid a no start condition. I am wondering if I can use my 12v/100 watt solar panel and charge controller to recharge/top off the 12v Leaf battery. Now normally when I recharge AGM batteries I connect the + to +...

Has anyone purchased/used one of these? http://www.evextend.com/Nissan-Leaf-Inverter-Kit.php This seems really nice.

Can I use the Leaf's 12V battery to charge another 12v battery? EDIT: I should mention that this isn't just a battery, it's a power pack designed for this sort of thing. I do this with my ICE car battery. I plug the powerpack into my ICE car battery via the 12v cig lighter sockets(12v dc to 12v...

I learned from this forum how to place the car into On mode instead of Ready mode for use of accessories while connected to the charger. That this is a good idea for prepping the car to a comfortable temperature while not depleting power from the battery at the start of a trip. My question: How...

I saw a youtube video of a leaf owner that didn't realize he had to maintain the leaf's battery. I am thinking he must have meant the accessory battery. Is there any maintenance I should be performing on any of the batteries for the S version Leaf?

2013 S My manual says that there is a B mode but the only forward modes I can seem to shift into is D and Eco. I see a B on the dash at the bottom but I believe that is for the second trip odometer. A and B have mileage. My guess is B and Eco are one and the same but the manual does mention them...
