8 bar battery replacement metrics

[cmwade77]

Thanks for the advice everyone. Purchased the car last night - still showed 9 bars. Range was a less than expected at ~35mi freeway through some foothills. Did a full charge at an L2 station.

After a light drive this morning, car finally showed 8 bars with the following stats:
AHR: 40.50
SOH: 61.93%
HX: 53.93%

Took it to Nissan and they're going to do their test tomorrow to verify I qualify.

Based on my experience in Southern California, at 9 bars it should have around 60 miles of freeway speed driving unless you are using the heater and/or air conditioner, something definitely seems off to me.

I had the heater on and was going ~72mph. Mapping-wise, the travel distance was 35 miles. I had an estimated ~8 miles left on the estimator and my remaining travel distance was ~5 miles so I had to pull over to get charged. Didn't have ECO or B-mode enabled.

First newbie mistake. Don't bother stopping to charge, SLOW DOWN instead (and turn off the heat). With 8 mi estimated range you will easily make 5 mi, and probably could do 20 mi at 35 mph.

Hah - good to know. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it quickly.

Great news is that Nissan approved the warranty replacement. There doesn't seem to be a backlog anymore and I should be getting a new battery next week!
