Would it not be dangerous for the Leaf's electronics to go faulty with a high voltage 14.5 upwards charger going into the terminals? I can imagine it with the battery on since that's where the energy is stored and resistance but directly to the cables is quite risky no? My 2011 Leaf's battery...

thanks cwerdna for answering and I will be researching those links you provided! take care!

Has anyone actually got a conclusive answer regarding the resetting of BMS and actual true numbers after that meaning you may have 11 or even 12 capacity bars, but in reality they really have less than 15 or 20% capacity? I'm not sure if I'm clear or specific but I just got my new battery...

thanks for the info aroundlsu! Do appreciate it. How is your new battery holding up? How long have you had it? If I remember correctly, my 2011 Leaf had 227-228 GIDs (100%) and when I lost my 4th bar it was down to 180ish or 14.3-14.4kWH. It would be amazing to see 12 capacity bars. Although I...

Hey guys I just dropped off my Leaf for a new battery today. Will be picking it up shortly. Just wondering what are some tips to "prolong" this new battery. I know the basics about not leaving it discharged or charged fully for an extended period of time but just wondering are there any other...

I hope you meant June 2016 :o unless you are a time traveller.

Thanks for the reply @keydiver Just wondering how long did you or any other person's replacement process take from the testing date? I know I read that it's got to "ARRIVE" from somewhere after that. I just want to get it fix and try to do 100 miles (never been done since I'm the 2nd owner)...

I just dropped mine yesterday and took a picture of it. I called to Nissan EV hotline and they told me to call the Nissan dealer so I picked the closest one. I have an appointment for them to check on the battery data, etc this coming Monday and they said it can take a few hours just for that...

thanks guys for letting me know I don't have to go back there. It's quite a drive. I'm just going to watch my batterie's capacity aH drop within these few months. I'm in the Inland Empire so it gets hot here in the summer. I will also be putting more miles on her as well. Wish me luck!!! ;)

Hey guys, I'm at 46.27aH, SOH=70%,Hx=49.78 and lost my 10th bar about 2-3 months ago. I first got it with 11 bars, 228 GIDS, 52aH, etc. It has 46K miles currently. I bought this used as well in 2014 I believe. It is a 2011 Aug. Model SL from Stadium Nissan (Anaheim). Strange thing is that I...
