    When will capacity bar go down?

    I have a 2012 Nissan Leaf. We bought a new battery through Nissan in May 2019. According to the leaf spy pro app we’ve lost about 20% capacity since then. We’ve yet to see a drop in capacity bars. I’m worried the dealer may have done something to the onboard computer when installing the battery...

    Battery Replacement

    BACKGROUND I’m new to the Leaf family and with that is/was a WHOLE lot of ignorance. Long story short, we moved to HI and we were looking for a used car for the wife. Mainly to drop the kid off at school and run some errands. I wasn’t to worried about range. We found a “good deal” on a 2012 Leaf...
