That's amazing. Congrats on getting a great battery. Is your Nissan Leaf a 2011?

Another update: I am now over 137,596 miles on my replacement battery and I lost my second Capacity Bar (10 out of 12). I'm still charging 100% during the week and 80% on the weekend. No issues making it to work and back on a single charge, but I usually only have one or two bars left...

Another update. I am now over 116,637 miles on my replacement battery and I finally lost my first Capacity Bar (11 out of 12). I'm still charging 100% during the week and 80% on the weekend. This is a dramatic difference in battery capacity from my original battery.

Another update. I am now over 100,000 miles and I STILL have 12 Capacity Bar's. The replacement battery is working great! I'm still charging 100% during the week and 80% on the weekend.

A quick update. (Details about my case are located in my edited first post.) Since my battery replacement on September 2015, I'm just over 86,000 miles and I haven't lost a capacity bar. I'm charging to 100% on the week day's and 80% on the weekend's.

The BBB decisions are considered the end of the arbitration process. The next step would a lawsuit. I was concerned that Nissan wouldn't honor the BBB decision to replace my battery, but they contacted me shortly after the decision and replaced the battery.

Before I purchased my 2011 Nissan Leaf. I did research about previous electric cars, went to the events to drive the vehicle, read the literature from Nissan about the cars expected performance, etc. I processed all that information and hypothesized, what is the possible worst case scenario to...

Remember that my initial claim was rejected and I had to Appeal. Be sure to state that your problem is not covered by the battery degradation that the Class Action Lawsuit covered. Below is my Comment regarding the decision, which I included in my Appeal: Thank you for attempting to assist me...

That's a good suggestion. It can be hard to find information easily. I'll update the post now.

Based on what I went through, here's what worked for me: 1. Get a service record for all four or more battery tests. 2. If you've taken your car into the dealer previously for battery degradation concerns, then get copies of those. *** This is important because it shows to the Arbitrator that...

I was at a monthly meeting of our local electric vehicle association held at ASU. One of our guest speakers is a expert battery technician from Nissan. He stated that he had done many repairs to the battery modules including cell replacements. I am saying, I believe they will replace my...

I received a response from the BBB which states, "There is nothing confidential about your case or the decision." If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, since I am happy to share or help in anyway.

From what I read in the decision, I'm not sure what I can and cannot share publicly. So I don't know if I can go into detail yet. I'm waiting on getting more information about what can be shared beyond what I've already posted.

Sorry for the delay in posting any updates, but I purposely hesitated to send any news about my Arbitration, since I didn't know if Nissan would honor the decision and whether there are any rules against me communicating the decision publicly. I succeeded in winning my Arbitration case against...

Regardless of what the legal agreement says, Individual cells are not being replaced. Their Nissan Leaf technician's are trained to only replace the entire battery pack and they are only given a full battery pack.
