Hello. As I’m stranded here and waiting for recovery I’m set to find out if my car battery needs replacing. Current battery at 17% and was trying to chademo charge. Charger errored on me so I disconnected and wanted to drive to the next charger. Tried to power car back on, got message “limited motor power”. Most warning lights are on incl Turtle and Warning EV. Car was driving fine till after the error on charger

Anyone that can advise?
 
That's odd. You should be showing one or more seriously low cells for the car to be Turtleing at 17%, yet the voltage differential is small. A failing 12 volt battery could be the culprit, so at least rule that out by checking its voltage.

Just had the RAC come over. Checked the 12V, it’s fine. He couldn’t get it working and needs to be recovered to Nissan. Car SOC is at 18% so shouldn’t be turteling. I’m fearing the worst and the fact that this happened straight after a failed charging attempt as well seems to indicate a serious issue?
 
Need a lot more info (only thing I can tell is it's a 2018--but the AHr makes it look like a Gen1).
Those voltage levels shouldn't have led to turtle...and the delta (26mV) doesn't even suggest a weak cell. Could be anything.
