Replaced my failing pack in May 2015 with 48,136 miles, lizard pack was stats were: AHr: 66.54 SOH: 100% Hx: 101% Now in Feburary 2016 with 58,686 miles on the odometer after living in much colder climate with the car in a cooled garage: AHr: 61.67 SOH: 99% Hx: 92.58% 90% of my charges are...

Very disappointing to see battery degradation on my barely 6 month old lizard pack. I had it replaced in the SoCal desert, then moved to the colder bay area. Was hoping the colder climate and my OCD attention to best charging practices would keep this pack in tip top shape but I think it doesn't...

Correct about heat and cycling being the worst. I was watching my capacity drop daily in the hot desert doing this, but overcharging the battery and letting it sit was also terrible for the pack. Even after you've charged it to "full" via L1/L2 connection, I noticed that if you have no charge...

Luckily I did. Only stayed in the desert for a month before I left to live in Monterey, CA. I've seen nothing but 60F-70F days here, and I'm able to park the Leaf in a garage. I barely see more than 5 temperature bars on the dash now. I've been monitoring the capacity daily, and haven't seen it...

Only took a week from when the dealer contacted Nissan to get a replacement battery ordered. Apparently they have a depot in LA with new battery packs available so no shipping from overseas. $6100 in parts and labor, billed to Nissan including the 2-day rental the dealer offered me, whew...

Heat is absolutely what killed this battery. The days I lost a measurable amount of capacity were the times I had to quick charge twice in and day to make a long trip or run my errands. Right now I'm sitting in the car waiting for my first quick charge to finish and I'm sitting at 8 bars of temp...

Finally! Lost my 4th bar this morning. After the first few 100F+ days here I knew it wouldn't be long. AHr: 42.84 SOH: 65% Hx: 44.16% ODO: 48,186 314 QC, 2269 L1/L2 - almost all those quick charges were recent because I can't make it further than about 40 miles without the VLB coming on. I...

Ahr: 44.49 SOH: 67% Hx: 46.87% I'm so close to losing the next bar, a few more hot Palm Springs days and it'll be toast. It's a 2011 and has spent most of it's time in the cooler San Diego climate, but coming here to Palm Springs during the summer murdered the capacity.

Small update to my 2011 Leaf battery warranty experience. I finally got around to buying a cheapo Android tablet for LeafSpy and ODBII bluetooth reader, and the wealth of data you are able to gather from it is indispensable. I've been watching my capacity slowly fall from 72% to 69% over the...

I don't even use this car to commute daily. I work from home so I only use it to go around town and run errands. After a full charge overnight, I can get around in ECO mode, text book conservative driving, no highway and get about 40-50 miles before I have 2 bars left and the light comes on...

Pacific Nissan in PB. A strongly worded Yelp review would be calling them out, plus I'd love to save others from the hassle I got. They did loan me a car in the meantime while my Leaf sat in their service bay though so I wasn't totally screwed. I even asked their service manager point blank...

Wanted to add my battery replacement experience because I read the forums and have found tons of useful information here. I have a 2011 Leaf I purchased about 6 months ago that was off-lease. Battery pack is original had only 1 bar missing (32000) miles. In the time I've owned it I've lost 2...
