Try having dealer take a look. Got a software update and now all is well. Before, sometimes one night would be enough to drain the 12V.

Update: dealer diagnosed and applied software update in a few hrs. Went on a 10 day vacation and car was fine. As an aside I think the low 12V did something to the airbag computer, which after the jumps started flashing its warning light even after reset. The dealer replaced that as well on a...

Standard answer: I would be totally up for spending a few hundred on a LiPo battery if it weren't a lease :) suppose the battery can just be swapped back and used in another car or sold after the lease ends, of course.

Yep—as I found out experimentally today! In our hubris we thought disconnecting the battery for ten seconds had gotten rid of the parasitic drain for awhile, and blocked the other car in—unable to move it to jump. I biked off to buy a charger. Came back with 1.5- and 6A chargers... 1.5...

I was approximately at the low battery warning last night when I parked at home, and this morning the 12V battery (for whichever reason) barely had enough power to unlock the doors. Once inside it didn't seem able to detect the key, and then a couple moments later it was too late to pop the...

Right, which is why it's so disappointing. Blink's system just seems like one giant facepalm. Guest codes and "membership", connectivity issues. Chargepoint is so simple in comparison. I see the bankruptcy thread now so I suppose it's all moot; wishful thinking that Nissan will just buy those...

I thought about the red reset. Was thinking I would hit it after giving up, just to see what would happen, but forgot. Regarding Chargepoint—yes many dozens of stations here and I've gotten to use a few during dinner etc. But this situation called for about 10 mins of QC so glad I eventually...

Oh well :) I guess it's something to think about next time we have the choice to take our gas-sucking other car, indeed.

My first experience with Blink was great, a good demonstration of the quick charging system. Nice UI, too. Second experience, the unit was operable but I didn't have my RFID card yet, and blinknetwork.com could not generate codes. About five minutes later the site was back, but too late...

Had my Leaf for a little over two weeks now and am really enjoying it. Today had Madico Onyx (metalized) tint put on as on a previous car... 35% all around. Nav, FM, XM, keyless, mobile inside car, CarWings data are all fine. Judging from the the parts diagram of the GPS antenna, it's up by the...
