Hi!
I just had the battery of my 2018 SL replaced under warranty like two weeks ago, after months of diagnostics (personal and dealer). A few days ago, I was driving in town, really smoothly, at 40% soc, and if I ever pushed the pedal just a bit too far (ie normal acceleration from a traffic light), the soc would suddenly drop, like my bad battery did but on the highway under heavy load.
I had a perfect 0 QC count in that battery. Now it's 2. What a bummer...
A bit more context:
- I had the car sit at 40% for 9 hours at -10c (because the evse failed to charge).
- prior to this incident, I hadn't charge the battery to 100% once, trying to keep it at 80%.
I have since read that the leaf calibrates the battery when it charges to 100% so I have charged the battery to 100% a couple of times, but haven't tried the car at low soc again. I will soon though, and take leaf spy screenshots.
Should I be worried again? Is this unheard of for a new battery? Or is it normal and yet another thing I should know about? Nissan was really nice to quickly give me a free battery but I'm getting tired and this is not fun anymore, if it ever was...
