Just lost our first bar at 23,800 miles, 2 1/2 years. Car lives outside on the driveway half way between downtown Los Angeles and the beach. Mild climate. 80% charged 95% of the time.

It has continued dropping even though the summer heat is gone. I just hit 21,000 miles. I charge to 80% in the summer, but do 100% in the winter due to the wonderful heater. As a matter of fact, I will be returning the car at the end of the lease due to the range hit of the heater.

cwerdna said:Cool! Did it have 12 capacity bars? Get any gid readings on a 100% charge? If you don't have the equipment, I'd imagine someone in your area can help you out.RickS said:FYI I got my replacement pack on October 4th.

Thanks for sharing. It looks like you are still close to 63 Ah?
OIC - yes, it's on the photo second from last. Interesting. Are you seeing such a big swing due to a recently applied software update?bowthom said:Not sure where it really is but leaf DD says 58 Ah

Yes, but GIDs in April do not necessarily mean much. The battery might have been down on capacity already, but this was masked by an overstated GID count. My LEAF was at 281 last April even though I measured 5% less range. The GID count then declined to 266 over the period of 2-3 months. How many GIDs do you see on a full charge these days? Your mileage is relatively low. How do you garage the LEAF?bowthom said:Not sure, capacity has been falling like a stone. Last April (after 26 months of ownership) it was at 279 gids. Tonight it took 19.7 kwh to charge from VLBW to 100%.

I haven't done a full 100% charge yet to get the stats, but "health" is reading 70.7%... FWIW.
vrwl said:My "health" is lower than that and I still haven't lost a bar, so what is your AHr reading at your first bar loss?
