With these numbers, I feel pretty good about getting my battery replaced before the extended warranty expires in 2024. Now here's where I'm getting greedy. It's even possible that I could have it replaced twice within the warranty period. Even with the Lizard battery back, it doesn't seem that the Leaf's battery hold up too well in Hawaii's climate. So if anyone in Hawaii is considering buying a Leaf, I would seriously recommend you consider leasing it instead.

AHr=49.49
SOH=79.69%
Hx=62.04%
With your odometer reading, 10 capacity bars, and those AHr, SOH, and Hx numbers, you may get down to 8 capacity bars (Nissan's criteria for warranty coverage) or 70% of original capacity (terms in warranty) in time to qualify for one battery replacement. There is very little chance that a replacement battery will lose enough capacity to qualify for replacement before your warranty expires. Based upon the rate of capacity loss on my 2015 in Phoenix, I suspect it will take at least a year for you to lose enough capacity to qualify for the first replacement.
Thanks for that very insightful reply. It appears based on LeafSpy data, a 2015 Leaf in HI will lose about a bar every two years. Which makes pretty good sense since HI is not as hot as Phoenix. With the SOH at 79.69%,, I'm halfway to losing that 10th bar. So, I should be on track to get down to 8 bars in three years. Not likely I will be able to have my battery replaced twice, but very likely I'll get it replaced once. Three years is good as it still provides a reasonable buffer before the extended warranty expires in 2024 and I will still have decent capacity until then.
