I've had my 2015 Leaf almost 8 months now and this is how I use it.
Up until a few months ago my driving was mostly travel about 85 miles per 4 shift days/nights. I would get to work, about 44 miles with about 48-54% battery, I used to charge at the DC charger over lunch to about 80-85% about 20-30 mins now I use a DC charger ln the way home instead and get to that with about 20-25% battery, charge up for 5-10 mins for about 50-54% battery.
I went from a pretty continuous 67.36 AH reading to 63 ah and after about 9,500 miles So I tried to fully charge and run the battery as low as possible a few times which made no difference, I usually get home with between 18-25% depending on how long I stay at the DC charger.
The least few days I charged a lot more at the DC charger up to 70 odd % and noticed my AH reading climbing ever since, now at about 65 AH. Hardly a coincidence ?
Strange DC charging from 25%-50% every day doesn't make the AH reading go up only when you DC charge beyond 70% ? strange.
I will try charge up to 70% % over my week off shift and see if the DC charging indeed is bringing the Ah reading back up.
I tested a 2014 leaf with 50,000 Kms or about 18,000 miles at a DC charger a good few months back and it read 66.4 ah and had about 544 DC charges and over 700 L2 if I remember correctly, I did post the results on mynissanleaf around that time.
