Just noticed that I lost my 3rd bar, right around the 10 year anniversary of manufacture (door says 9/13). My first bar (15% capacity loss) took 3.5 years/51k miles, 2nd (6.25% more) took 2.5 years/32k miles, and the 3rd (also 6.25% more) took almost 4 years/27k miles. I bet the 3rd probably...

I just lost my second capacity bar on my 2013 Nissan Leaf. Here are my stats: MY13 (took delivery 10/13, manufactured 9/13) Location: Northern Colorado Date of loss: 10/15/2019 Mileage at loss: 83330 AHr: 51.34 SOH: 78.5% Hx: 68.73% L1/L2 charges: 4912 QC: 44 I try to leave my LEAF outside at...

I finally checked the sticker in the driver side door, and it said, "MFD 9/13". So, maybe it is a newer battery. The good news is that I hit 60,000 miles with 85% SOH after a rather warm summer (with less overnight cooling than usual, due to working patterns). We'll see if I can keep it there...

I do primarily charge and store in my garage during the day, and try to get it outside at night. The temperature difference between the high and low on any given day is pretty high- 30 degrees or so. Dry and 5,000 feet. There are really only a couple of months where you can see temps in the 90's...

I do try to park overnight between 30% and 50%. I read somewhere that 30% is the sweet spot for degradation, but I don't want to sacrifice all of the convenience of being able to hop into the car at a moment's notice. Like I said, I do try to park outside to get the battery as cold as possible...

I just lost my first capacity bar on my 2013 Nissan Leaf. Here are my stats: MY13 (took delivery 10/13) Location: Northern Colorado Date of loss: 2/6/17 Mileage at loss: 51604 AHr: 55.18 SOH: 84% Hx: 81.57 L1/L2 charges: 3029 QC: 37 I try to leave my LEAF outside at night to cool off the...

I called my dealer today, and (after calling me back an hour later) the service guy quoted the $199 co-pay and said they needed to order the parts (3-5 days). In an interesting twist, they said that they needed to inspect my MY13 before ordering the parts, as if they need to confirm what...

I just got my new Leaf on Saturday, prompted by my son turning 16 (not for him - he'll inherit the minivan for getting to school!) Blue 2013 SV with the QuickCharge/LED headlight package Grey interior (going to upgrade to grey leather) Holographic kickplates and cargo mat For some reason, they...
