I'm a long time lurker of this forum and finally decided to join after purchasing a certified pre owned 2013 Leaf SL this past weekend.
Before signing the paperwork I plugged in my ELM327 reader and checked its battery condition on LeafSpy, and it reads 67.63AHr and 100% SOH. This car has over 18,600 miles with 17 QC and 839 normal charge history. While I'm delighted to find its battery is in such good condition, I can't help to wonder if that's accurate. I mean that AHr reading is higher than even some brand new ones, when it's been used for over two years. Are we certain LeafSpy readouts are reliable? BTW this vehicle was a Bellevue, WA lease return.
I also find the EVSE is in pretty poor shape, there are some scuff marks and half of the cable is all twisted as if it's always wrapped around the EVSE unit itself for prolonged period of time. This is really annoying as it's hard to untangle it, is there a way to straighten out the cable?
Thanks in advance and I'm glad to join the EV club!
