    2013 Leaf "S" - Unreliable OBC (OnBoard Charger)

    This has crossed my mind, but the labor cost is significant as this is probably a bit beyond my abilities - at least given the realities of work and a 4-year-old in the house. I can solder, but not well - and without knowing which caps are needed until I open it up, I'd be waiting for the parts...

    2013 Leaf "S" - Unreliable OBC (OnBoard Charger)

    The 12v was replaced a month ago and is known good - that would have been a good idea to check otherwise. Eager to hear other ideas or your ideas after you are able to rest.

    2013 Leaf "S" - Unreliable OBC (OnBoard Charger)

    No, I do not need 6.6kW charging, I simply need reliable charging and do not want to pay an arm and a leg to address reliability issues. I also (unfortunately) can't use high-speed charging hardware to bypass the issue with 110/220 charging - since I don't have a high-speed charging port. I...

    2013 Leaf "S" - Unreliable OBC (OnBoard Charger)

    I am in the unfortunate position of having an otherwise good condition 2013 Leaf (~80k miles) with a happy battery pack (only one bar missing), but the OBC is starting to fail. Symptoms/Issues: 1. About 1/25 times that I try to turn on the car, it will only turn on halfway - the accessories...

    Converting the stock EVSE to an OpenEVSE unit

    How does this OpenEVSE modification compare to the more common modification Phil offers to convert the stock unit to 240v? Specifically: - What additional features will I get with the OpenEVSE (based on current firmware - I understand that firmware updates can result in new capabilities) -...

    How hard is it to pop out the battery and change it?

    Why wouldn't you simply disassemble the battery pack from the wrecked leaf, reassemble in a different configuration in your trunk and put the stuff you would have carried in the trunk in a roof box. I have seen a Leaf w/ a roof rack installed. If you didn't have any luggage, you could drive a...

    I have a 2013 - didn't they replace the heater with a new (hopefully more reliable) design?

    Extended Warranties and Security+Plus Prepaid maintenance???

    Thanks for all the feedback. I'm definitely going to get a refund on the service contract since the Schedule 2 servicing is cheap, and I will probably take a credit on the extended warranty as well since it doesn't seem like the risk of non-warranted failure is particularly high, and quite...

    Spare Tire Carrier

    Has anyone considered a dual-purpose kit which adds a trailer hitch and the ability to carry a spare tire beneath the car? It should be possible to attach both with a single set of bolts.

    Extended Warranties and Security+Plus Prepaid maintenance???

    The title says it all, I'm trying to decide if I will cancel either of these additional purchase decisions we made in the stressful room with the finance guy. I bought both, in a large part since both are cancellable withing 30 days. Now I'm trying to make an educated decision about both. 1)...

    Why is 80% charging recommended?

    I just spent some time reading the (excellent) article here about Nissan leaf cars, battery degradation and other charging issues: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/wiki/index.php?title=Battery_Capacity_Loss" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It didn't help me understand the deal with the...

    Clipper Creek March Madness LCS-25 and LCS-25/PCS-15 combo

    I just purchased a base model 2013 leaf "S" with the lower 3.3kWh charging capability. The Clipper Creek seems like a great value for a charger rated for outdoor use. Anyone have any hands-on experience? - Is it a good unit? - Anyone do the installation themselves? Was it difficult? Was the...
