    8 bar battery replacement metrics

    Drive it until you get low battery warning. Quick charge as much as possible. Park it in the sun. Avoid the shade. You basically want to get the batteries as hot as possible. It only took me 6 months to get mine to drop.

    Thanks for all the input. So it sounds like everyone has it.

    High Pitched Noise While Driving

    Does anyone else have a high pitched noise while driving? The only way to describe it is it is the same noise when you get a hearing test. It's very high, very faint, and very annoying. It happens at freeway speeds. It's no the radio or the A/C.

    Dropped Second Bar after 6K miles

    He has a 2013. I thought only the 11-12 qualified for the replacement.

    Dropped Second Bar after 6K miles

    I sounds to me like who ever sold you the car reset your system so it looks like you had 12 bars. Its like temporarily turning back your odometer. You would have around 63 Ahr or 100% health with a new battery. With 50 AHr and 77% health you should have 10 bars maybe even 9. You will probably...

    The Battery Replacement Thread

    I called 877-no-gas-EV after 8 weeks and they got it there in a few days. Even the service manager was shocked. He said " I don't know whose bell you rang, but it worked."

    The Battery Replacement Thread

    Wow! I would have called 877nogasev right then and there. Make sure you get a full refund!!!! I would also take it to a different dealer if I were you. If they told you that was normal, obviously they have no clue,

    Is there a definitive answer on charging to 80% or 100%?

    I just had my traction battery replaced and I am picking it up today. I have a 2012 so I have the option to limit my charge to 80% or go for the full 100%. Is it better to go to 80% vs 100%? Is it worse to go below 20% or is there a certain percentage that you do not want to go below? Is it...

    Battery warranty question on an 8 bar Leaf

    I am getting my 8 bar car battery replaced as we speak. I bought it 6 months ago and it has never had a battery check. I believe that there was some language in the settlement that states you don't need the annual check done. You do need to get the software update done. Call 877-no-gas-EV not...

    Capacity Loss on 2011-2012 LEAFs

    To be fair, he did say 4-6 weeks. I just went with the 6 weeks and am hoping for 4. I can't wait! No more getting home with 2-4 miles on the GOM.
