    Living the Leaf Life Below 40% SOC and pulse driving - battery protection strategy

    Hi Jim - thanks for the FtF contact re above. Thought any discussion may possibly benefit others here. My thinking now is that the BMS is designed not to function below 40% SoC, a Nissan mechanism to allow batteries stockpiled for the production line, and transported subsequently, to remain at...

    LeafSpy Pro Custom Screens

    Hi Turbo3 I have added CP, CL, and CV lines in that order to my .csv file, following the initial 2 lines. The colours in these lines are all different to the defaults (no transparencies). The CP and CV lines work as expected. The CL line appears to be being ignored, with labels, variables and...

    LeafSpy Pro Custom Screens

    Hmm, I’ve already switched to the custom screen as my main screen, and now you are strongly tempting me to get better hardware.. :D

    LeafSpy Pro Custom Screens

    Yes, I was clear about the minus sign function, but with the incorrect label I couldn't see why it was there at all. Thanks for the clarification....

    So you can just represent "transparent" as 0x0?

    LeafSpy Pro Custom Screens

    Thanks, Turbo3, for the detail of the colour choice to come - glad I've got some time to the next release to digest it! Very impressive...

    Leaf Spy and Leaf Spy Pro

    OK, thanks, back to "as expected". I may have accidentally long-tapped on the temp display initially, but when I went into Settings, the Alternate function and the Warn Below option were both on, how I don't know, as it's months since I was in there last. All now disabled... Re-tested, exited...

    Leaf Spy Pro doesn't compute a 2016 SV 24kW battery

    It is impossible to tell - please provide the data you are questioning...

    Leaf Spy and Leaf Spy Pro

    Hi Turbo3 I am running LSP v0.41.111 (Android). My Leaf doesn’t have TPMS, so I display battery temps on screen 4. In Settings, the alternate display Tire Pressures / Battery Temps checkbox is ticked. On screen 4, a red overlay with a TPMS warning appears covering the temps/pressures panel...

    LeafSpy Pro Custom Screens

    Hi Turbo3 Your custom screens are a great addition , and I'll be using LeafSpy much more regularly while driving, now that I can easily read my cell display. Your sample files are fairly intuitive, as I built my first custom screens before I ever got around to reading this thread... I have a...

    2011 LEAF stopped charging, 21 DTC's logged

    Is this YouTube video relevant? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R4dGg8nIUs

    Leaf Body Panels Gen 1 vs Gen 2 (Japan/NZ)

    When i added slimline weather shields to my Leaf's doors, the dealer's parts department looked up the Nissan Japan catalogue (had to come from there), which showed the same part number for all years of Leaf production. Not the same as a panel I know, but it suggests the doors haven't changed, so...

    Battery Health

    Wherever Leafs are manufactured, such as USA and Britain, the usual car market tradition is to look forward to model updates by year, and are referred to as 2013, 2014, 2015 etc to distinguish them - they are all Gen 1's but are seldom referred to in this way. Australia and New Zealand have no...

    Charger unit lights all flashing. Help please

    I have located a manual reference which says if green flashing, orange in any state, red flashing, then either the electrical plug is too hot, or the EVSE is unable to determine the temperature of the electrical plug I.e. the Japanese plug. My understanding is that the Japanese plug does contain...

    Charger unit lights all flashing. Help please

    You've got an earthing fault, sounds like - not safe to use. Lots of dodgy replacements of the japanese plug with an nz one, some by dealers who don;t know what they are doing. Did the japanese plug have a thermal resistor in it? What sort of 15A plug is now on the EVSE? A caravan type, or just...

    long-term storage (months)

    Almost identical, 33 miles, dealer charged to 80%, plus transported from Australia so charged there to be driven to the port and on board. From the Oz Leaf forum, however, some sales from the stockpile to local buyers had virtually nil loss with SOH at 98%, which supports my belief in li-ion...

    long-term storage (months)

    From Day 1 I kept a charging record, for about 7 months. For the first 3 months I charged to 80% plus 4 times to 100%. Degradation occurred each of these charge/discharge cycles. In investigating a lower level of charging I first tried staying in a 30-40% range, doing a timed charge when SoC...

    long-term storage (months)

    There seems to be a lot of misinformation floating around the forum(s) about Leaf HV battery storage and optimal charge level; I think it is partly because of Nissan's original recommendations from a time when even Nissan didn't seem to know what was to happen to Leaf batteries in real-world...

    How can you use battery capacity without driving? Can this improve battery capacity?

    Hi LeafMuranoDriver I was faced with your problem of not doing enough miles to nicely fit in with Nissan's charging view of the world from when I purchased my Leaf, and for the first few months whatever I tried, from more part charges to fewer, all resulted in a drop in battery stats. I bought...

    Emergency brake use

    I too learned to drive in the days when autos were a rarity. It was also the days of secondary roads being universally shingle topped, not sealed, and handbrakes were very useful for learning the dark arts of sliding through corners :D I got into the habit early, when washing the car, of...
