Ironically as Yogi stated, the testing may have made the pack even worse. I wish I had a gidometer when the car was brand new, as I really believe the car was down from the day I left the dealership. If I had complained about it the first week, perhaps they would have done something. Unfortunately it took this long to try and log extensive range data. I have my bluetooth OBD adapter on rush order...will see what readings I get in a few days.

But tonight I got in the car and noticed with only 13.1 miles since charging it yesterday, I was down 4 bars. (10-4 bars=6 bars showing)
Now, I believe 4 bars :lol: is conservatively about 6kw. So with my 3.8mi/kWh economy up to that point..does 13.1 miles even seem plausible? If there is a major capacity problem in my 6month/4500 mile LEAF, will there be a way to convince Nissan to fix it?
FORGET THE FUEL BARS !!!!
The only data we can work with with moderate accuracy is 100% or 80% charge to LBW or VLB or Turtle.
The widest extremes (100% to Turtle) are best. We need the battery temperature and the dash economy. Additional super helpful data is a Gidmeter value and recharge consumed kWh.
No, Nissan isn't going to do anything about your battery. You seem stuck in a spinning tea cup at Disneyland with repeatedly presenting the same type of data over an over.
Your battery is down on capacity; that seems obvious. I estimate 10%-20% based on your numerous previous posts. Nissan will do absolutely nothing, and frankly, this isn't that unusual. Yes, it sucks, but that's where you're at.
Rush? So instead of a slow boat from China, you get a speed boat?
