Seems dumb to make a gamble unless it's highly likely to result in a new battery when I could get an 11 bar car for $8700.
Yes, if it's not likely you'd be able to get a 9 bar car down to 8 bars, the 11 bar car would be the better bet.
That said, you still need to hook the 11 bar car up to LEAFSpy and make sure 11 bars indicated actually does correlate with the expected AHrs remaining - we've seen a couple of cars where the capacity bars have apparently been reset, and cars that really should have had 9 bars remaining have shown 12 bars just long enough for the dealer to get the car gone!
mwalsh can you give us a snapshot of your new battery specs?
I replaced my leaf not the battery and there are some worrying numbers that I am getting out of the new car when compared with my old car and rest of you. Car was mfg 4/2015 I got in 1/2016, same driving and charging habits as my 2014. charge every two days on L2 from 20-30% to 100% like with my old leaf.
What worries me is that I lost 6Ahr and 2kWh of capacity with just 1000 miles on the odometer? HX is dropping like a rock too!
