I hear you on that one. Did they request confirmation of concurrent battery checks or did they not require proof of Annual battery checks at all?

Great news! This gives people who will be just missing out on the capacity warranty a great option to be made whole again. The crazy thing is that if Nissan had designed a reasonable pro-rated warranty based on their original expected battery life claims, this all could have been avoided.hobbyguy said:I also won the BBB arbitration and now have a new battery pack installed. Nice to have all the bars and range back.
Yes, thank you all! How long did the process take you from start to finish?hobbyguy said:Thank you to Leafer77 and Valdemar for all your guidance and suggestions and to the BBB, who made the process fair and easy to follow.
Bummer! Glad to hear injuries were avoided.Valdemar said:The joy of driving on a new battery was quickly spoiled by some moron who missed a red light and T-boned our Leaf last Saturday.

This does bring up one thing I'm really curious about. Assuming your car is totaled (I can't imagine it won't be), I'll be very interested to hear how your insurance company figures out the proper replacement value for the car, given its new battery. My guess is they'll do the knee-jerk thing of spitting out a Blue Book value based on model year and miles, but obviously KBB doesn't have a checkbox for "new $6000 battery that makes my car effectively as good as a brand new Leaf."
You might have another BBB arbitration on your hands here... Now what would be really interesting would be how a totaled Leaf might be handled if it had qualified for the warranty but not gotten a replacement yet, or maybe one that was about to qualify. Keep us posted!
Leafer77 said:A quick update. (Details about my case are located in my edited first post.)
Since my battery replacement on September 2015, I'm just over 86,000 miles and I haven't lost a capacity bar.
I'm charging to 100% on the week day's and 80% on the weekend's.
if all 100k of those mile's (pay attention to how us 'Murican's form plural's) were racked up on the replacement battery, that would be very good service indeed. Digging back through the prior post's, it seems the OP's replacement had about a 62kmi head start. Not that 38k mile's without losing any bar's is anything to scoff at anyway..Leafer77 said:Another update. I am now over 100,000 miles and I STILL have 12 Capacity Bar's. The replacement battery is working great! I'm still charging 100% during the week and 80% on the weekend.

I think he's trying to make a point. None too subtly, but I, too, am pretty tired of misused apostrophes in plurals, although it's easy to slip up and do it now and then by mistake (I almost did so in this sentence!). I blame (without evidence) the origin of this problem on the NYT Stylebook, which says you use an apostrophe to form a plural in an acronym. Why? Is HUD's really more plural-looking than HUDs?GetOffYourGas said:Levenkay said:pay attention to how us 'Murican's form plural's
This entire post is painful to read. Just because a lot of people do it, does not mean it is correct.
