Just got my LEAF back after having the A/C unit replaced. While it was in the shop, my 6 month maintenance notice (edit: not battery inspection notice) came so they did a battery capacity check (free of charge). Happy to report after 4,700 miles driven on 100% charging, I'm still at 12 of 12 bars (already knew that from the battery status meter on the display) and scored 5 out of 5 stars for Charging, Driving and Storage. I guess they track the following "cause of gradual loss of capacity":
Frequent use of Quick Charging
Frequent charging when battery state of charge is already high
Too much electric consumption while driving
Long term parking with high state of charge
I was surprised that charging to 100% vs. 80% was not on the list. Maybe it's not as important as the other 4 factors listed.
