I recently got a EV system warning light on my 2011 Leaf. I was just wondering what is the easiest/cheapest way to clear it. The car is on it's last leg and I'm not interested in putting any more more into it :-(
Besides the degradation the leaf has been extremely reliable. When I bought it I was not aware of the battery degradation problem and I didn't get it inspected. I didn't do my research before buying it so even if I saw 6/12 I didn't know what it meant or that even would keep losing capacity. If...
Short story it's my fault. I really wanted an EV and rushed into it. It was the cheapest leaf on craigslist. I test drove it and made an offer. I didn't take it to Nissan to have it looked over. I guess why would you? EVs are the most reliable vehicles.
It had 6/12 bars when I bought it in...
Well everyone I'm finally getting rid of my 2011 Leaf. It just fell to 3/12 bars. I loved that this was a EV and there was no way someone was going to buy it from me so I ended up trading it for a Tesla Model 3. Tesla offered me 2,400 to trade it in. They didn't even ask to see any photos of it...
I was away for 30 days and haven't driven my leaf since then. When I came back and the car is dead. It won't turn on or the lights won't come on. I left the charger connected.
I'm guessing that the 12 volt battery is dead. I don't really have any tools to test it. I figured I ask before...
Well I decided against buying the pack without knowing the condition of the battery pack. I won't be able to return it unless I prove that the batteries are degraded which basically I won't be able to do unless I open the battery pack.
It's in the NW. I decided to buy it and get it over with. Hopefully it's in good condition.
Rant time: I'm now in at $12k on a car that is worth $6k. Plus I have to spend several days swapping out the batteries. I LOVE that leaf is an electric car and HATE everything else about it. I'm never...
The battery is from a 2014 leaf. I'm still reluctant to pay $3k for a battery pack I don't know the condition of. I don't know really know how well the 2014 batteries degrade but I've seen a lot of 2013 leafs that have lost 4 or 5 bars.
Well, they already took the car apart so they can't turn it on to check the number of bars.
Is there an easy way to check the health of the battery pack after it has been removed?
Hi Everyone,
I came across a used Nissan Leaf batter from LKQ. They want $3k for it and it's a little too much I'm wanting to pay for it. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with negotiating prices with LKQ?
If I can get it for $2k then I would be happy. Any suggestion would be...
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to replace my battery on my 11 leaf. I would like to try to find a totaled Leaf where it it has the new lizard battery pack.
My question is how can I find out if the battery was replaced? I'm sure the salvage yard isn't going to know. If I have the VIN is there a...
I was hoping there would be a 100% sure way that a 13-15 batteries would fit but few of the responses have mentioned there could be some problems getting it to work on a 11 leaf.
I don't want to spend $3k on a used battery only to find out it's not working. Then I would have to spend another...
