i have never seen a battery capacity warranty. now there are battery warranties for failure which is usually a pro rated replacement cost after a certain time period which is usually 1-2 years and that is basically what Nissan has implied. granted, specifics would be nice but obviously specifics involving costs is not possible
i had my Zenn batteries replaced under warranty due to failure to provide a "usable" charge and it was really based on loss of capacity. but really only time will tell.
there is no doubt going to be people seeing significant loss of range within 2 years but i personally dont think that is the case with most of us. lets put this thread to rest and resurrect it in say...June 1, 2012 when a few of us will be pushing 15,000-20,000 miles and see what the range is running then.
it does make me want to go out and run the car at a steady speed until its on it 2nd low battery warning just to get a baseline.
