Dear Tony,
I'm sorry for the late response, but I was able to get an answer for you.
Cell balancing is automatic with normal charge/discharge cycles and there is nothing additional that you can do to affect it. The service manual only addresses cell balancing when replacing a battery module. The new battery module must be balanced to match the other modules before installation.
For best battery life, Nissan recommends using the Long Life Mode for charging (80% Charge).
Any more detail would be considered proprietary.
If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact us again. You can do this through email to
