^^^^^ Thanks for confirming that the 8 year / 100,000 mile defects warranty continues on the new battery installed under the capacity warranty.

What was the original in service date?
ziltoid said:Lurker here. I used this thread and the wiki to determine when I might lose my fourth bar and wanted to share my numbers.
I lost my fourth bar while charging over night, when I checked in the morning I had:
AHr = 41.05
SOH = 62%
Hx = 41.22%
34,476 miles
3 QCs
2725 L1/L2s
177 GIDs
I live in Phoenix, AZ and bought this car used. It's a 2011 SL but it has a 12 month lemon law warranty that doesn't expire until Jan 2017 due to a manufacturer buyback, thus it is still under warranty. I did have to call the Nissan Leaf 800 number and sort out the warranty information with them (inititally they claimed it wasn't covered, but after looking in to it for a few days they realized it was). Hope this information helps!
Gleebob, Which dealer are you using??Gleebob said:Hello. Another lurker. I'm an original owner of a 2012 Leaf. Just lost 4th bar in June at 43000 miles. Took it to dealer in Las Vegas and they ordered battery and said it would take 2 months. Called in August and they said it would take another 2 months. Is that typical? Did I need to call someone to speed up the process? What is the experience of the membership of wait times to change out a battery under warranty. Thanks.
So the rats forgot to order it the first time, and when you called to check (Hey Bob! Did you order that LEAF battery? Shoot Jim, I thought you ordered it! Mr. Gleebob, it looks like the factory is taking longer than we thought...) they ordered it THEN without telling you that they had made a mistake. What slimeballs.Gleebob said:Thank you ikkms2. I called Nissan customer support just a little bit ago. They answered right away and knew who I was by my phone number. I explained the situation and they were able to see that I had a warranty case open and my battery was on order. The battery should arrive early October. The weird thing was that they showed the dealership ordered the battery on August 19 which is almost two months after I had brought the car in for service. I had brought the car in on June 21, 2016. The rep said typically, it's about 6 to 8 weeks to replace a battery.
It's a bit irritating that they waited so long to order the battery. But I am very glad that it's on it's way. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Should have car back by Friday. 2015 is the Lizard battery to be installed. Get new 5yr 60k mile 4 bar loss warranty restart. Uh, Awesome,,,
A few people hit the production cycle for 2011/2012 batteries real lucky and got it in two to three weeks.
Most were four to six weeks.
Be an absolute miracle if the dealer gets it in two days.

My experience is similar.ziltoid said:...
At full charge I'm hitting 274 GIDs (97.5%) and 91.2% SOC. Why is the SOC lower than the GIDs? Does that make sense?
Also, does it take a few weeks to break in? I'm using the standard L1 charger if that makes a difference.
Marktm said:Just heard this week that I will get a replacement battery - in 12 to 14 weeks. It took over a week to confirm the "8 bar replacement". The dealer sent me the battery "data" that was used for the confirmation. It was nothing more than the "5 star" rating sheet that showed the GOM with 8 bars and all the ratings - which were all 5 stars. This works well for me as I'd like for the weather to cool down before the install.
Hey, that's more than they offered me!solartim said:We finally lost our bar two months out of warranty. Opened an appeal with corporate, and no dice, they offered us friends and family pricing on a new vehicle within 30 days. What a crock!!
