Certainly stabilised since then, if you check my signature I'm still tracking performance. The rapid drop bottomed out at a SOH of 94, and I'm down to 89 now, so dropping about 1% for every 4000km.

I was actually looking last week to see if it would be possible to build an NZ map, but I couldn't even read the SD card (Dell laptop onboard reader + Linux). So I can't offer to give you a copy of my SD card. But, in the process of researching I did notice there are a bunch of SD cards...

I don't think anyone has been successful here. I've discovered the power of Google Translate, at least for the text. For the voice activation it's also a useful start and I can now successfully do a speed dial (although my pronunciation of the Japanese translation of 'dial' and 'back' is...

It occurred to me there was another change I made - parking the car in the shade while at work. So I guess 3 things that together appear to have stopped the loss: 80% charging, driving style, temperature. Which has the biggest impact I don't know. Interestingly enough, the SOH has actually...

Since my last post I've been charging to 80% and generally taking it a bit easier on the hills with more use of eco mode. Pretty abrupt change in where the health was heading, things have levelled off considerably. I think the temperature must be a big factor as well, since I can't otherwise...

Curious. If the online registration info is accurate then it was imported in May 2013 with just 4000km on the clock - that may well have been in a cold area of Japan. But then it was driven for 18000km and even if it was replaced just before I got it it still managed 2000km before really...

Thanks dgpcolorado, good to know the capacity is higher than expected, although I'm a bit surprised in that I can just about do 120km which seems to be in line with expectations. I'm doubtful there's a new battery in the car, but it also seems odd that somebody would have reset the measure...

Hi, I'm seeing my battery health decline much more rapidly than it was a month or so ago. Just wondering if I've hit some point in the normal degradation curve or something else going on? A couple of charts in this spreadsheet, table also here: Date Odometer (km) QC L1/L2 Ahr SOH Voltage Hx...

Ah yeah, forgot Japan used to roll their own network technology. Even if it is running standard UMTS it could be an embedded SIM, and even then they're running on a different frequency (assuming they're using the 800MHz spectrum as per that Wikipedia page you linked). Tried Google translate on...

Spent some time today trying to get Carwings working on my Japanese imported Leaf (I'm in New Zealand). TL;DR: nope But to save somebody else ripping out the glovebox, here's what I found looking at the TCU in a right hand drive vehicle. First up, it's on the driver's side, behind and right of...

Yeah, thought that might be the case. Just spent some time checking the TCU (will write up a post on it) and can't find any SIM to swap out, so not very promising at all.

Hi, I've bought myself a 2012 Leaf, imported 2nd hand from Japan into NZ (pretty common for cars here). Unfortunately it means the head unit is all in Japanese and no apparent Carwings support. So, a few questions for any Kiwis here: Is there any software update that could change the language...
