    How much battery capacity is ideal for your LEAF?

    48-50 KW , the same as my Rav 4 EV - 43 useable. That would get me about 140 to 150 miles per 100% charge, plus QC.

    Leviton 16 amp L2 Does Not Work for 2011 LEAF

    Tried my Leviton 16 AMP L2 EVSE that I use for charging my Rav4 EV at work on my 2011 LEAF. It does'nt acknowledge that it's plugged in and the charge LED just blinks. So No Go.

    CAPACITY 2 years out.

    Same here. 35,000 miles and was testing Turbo3's Leaf Battery app just as I saw the 12th bar dissappear. The Leaf Battery app indicates I'm down to roughly 83% of the original capacity and 237 GIDs. Oh and get this. I had the annual battery check performed the week before I lost the bar...

    Two Years, 76,000 miles, 12 bars and 232 GID (now 11 bars)

    Lost one bar at 227 GID and 83.87% battery capacity indicated on Turbo3's Leaf Battery app. Only have 35,000 miles on the LEAF, so your Leaf is doing much better than mine. It may be due to the hotter temps in the valley. Charged 100% twice a day on a 126 mile roundtrip commute.

    My 2nd year Battery report.

    Had my second battery test a couple weeks ago. 5/5 stars for capacity and also had the cell pair test, but my lowest was 3745 mvolts. Today at 228 Gid on a 100% charge and a 83.44% total capacity showing (based on the android phone Leaf Battery App that Turbo3 developed), I just lost my first...

    Using clone ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII adapter with Leaf

    Version 8 seems to work on my HTC Evo 3D running Android 4.0.3. However, I had to power up the ELM 327 first and it wouldn't connect until I turned the car on, even though the red power light was on on the ELM 327. Now the AHr on the top kept showing 55.4AmpHrs and 83.37% even though I was...

    Bridgestone EP422 tires swapped for Michelin Primacy MXV4s.

    I've put about 500 to 600 miles on my Michelin Defenders and so far the efficiency is still down about 8 to 10%, but appears to be improving a little at a time. Steering is abit heavier than the Ecopias, but the handling is very good in the corners. BTW the Defenders are also a LLR tire. I...

    EVSE Upgrade

    Yeah, that's what I told her Phil. I've had my upgraded unit for nearly 2 years now and have had no problems. But she was still leary being a newbie EV owner.

    EVSE Upgrade

    A coworker of mine bought a 2013 LEAF S just last weekend and she told me that the Nissan dealer told her that if she did the EVSE upgrade, it would void her traction battery warranty. What a bunch of BS.

    Had Cell Pair Test Performed Last Saturday

    These voltages are a bit low, if 3745 millivolts is the lowest acceptable voltage. I see the voltages on the ELM 327 discussion are in the 4020s, but that may be at higher charge states on the battery. I know that my battery is down about 10 to 12 % from mileage testing to turtle. So 5 stars...

    Had Cell Pair Test Performed Last Saturday

    Had Elk Grove Nissan do my annual battery check and a cell pair test. The regular (worthless) check gave me 5 stars for battery capacity. My voltages are down across the board. Voltages were 3745 to 3759 millivolts at 1 capacity bar and 5 miles range showing. 3745 is at the bottom of the...

    Replaced Ecopia's with Michelin Defenders

    Put Michelin Defenders on this morning after putting 35000 on the Ecopias. Have been getting mid to low 4s in efficiency (4.2 to 4.5 mi/KWhr) on the wore Ecopias. I'll see how the Defenders perform in about 4000 to 5000 miles. The tire dealer indicated that they definitely need to be broken...

    Using clone ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII adapter with Leaf

    Connected the first time, but didn't show capacity numbers or percentage. After the first connection, failed to connect, kept giving a connected failed error in a black text box, even when the ELM327 wasn't on and even after uninstalling the battery app and re-installing it. The error keeps...

    Using clone ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII adapter with Leaf

    Will try it with my Evo 3D running Android 4.0.3 and my ELM327.

    TGIF: "You know you are a Leaf driver when..."

    You know you are a LEAF driver when your gas station is your garage.
