What is wrong with Nissan? I could see if this were a case where thousands of other Leaf owners would follow in your footsteps, but there is not any other Leaf known to have these issues. Seems pretty simple, play nice with your customer and get them a new car. Bring this one to the Lab to try and figure out what could be going on. I
Worse. I believe the entire macro-cosmic universe can explode. That's what I heard, anyway.saintyohann said:...What if it keeps putting in 3.8KW until the battery is full and even then keeps going? Battery damage? Worse?

Will if burst into flames, highly unlikely. The battery modules are in a hermetic case for a reason.

That should never happen. Very clear that your car has some sort of electrical gremlins and this is one of the symptoms. Add it to your binder of evidence.saintyohann said:There was no estimate for time on 120V and it still said 2 hours to charge at 240V (picture here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58853322@N05/8095140660/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false.
The scenario I imagine is that the dash display is completely incorrect when it reports a battery level of 12 bars. The on-board charger and battery are happily charging to a full charge while the dash reports weirdness. It fits with his other weird symptoms like 4 battery bars suddenly disappearing. I wouldn't be comfortable charging the car, either.Ingineer said:Wow. The only way I can imagine this scenario is if one (or more) modules are severely out of balance with the rest of the pack. ...
I hope you got a picture of 9 temp bars after a full charge. Something is really wrong with that Leaf!saintyohann said:I gave it about an hour and a half more to charge and now Leaf Link was reporting it would be done a little after 5 AM. I powered the car on and it still said 2 hours left to charge to 100%, I still had 12 bars of battery but the battery temp was high ( I think it was at 9 bars ).
I wouldn't worry about it - I'm certain that the LBC is functioning properly, but it's certainly failing to communicate that information back up to the dash. It's a classic intermittent gremlin caused by a very flaky connection somewhere. It's no wonder the car isn't constantly throwing some serious error codes.davewill said:I wouldn't be comfortable charging the car, either.
Hey Phil, can't dealerships view the cell voltages on their CONSULT system? Wouldn't this be something that could easily be troubleshot?Ingineer said:Wow. The only way I can imagine this scenario is if one (or more) modules are severely out of balance with the rest of the pack.
