    12V Battery Drain Issue Problem and Temporary Fix as Instructed by Nissan

    Fits very well to my situation. I saw the issue for the first time 8th of April. I also bought a jump start li-ion battery which has been a life saver.

    12V Battery Drain Issue Problem and Temporary Fix as Instructed by Nissan

    That's indeed another way to calculate it. My battery is 50Ah and with your numbers that gives a maximum time of 50Ah/(38400C/day)=(50C/s)*3600s/(38400C/day) = 4.7 days. It's a bit lower with your numbers since I calculated 60s instead of 65s to simplify the average calculation and 0 A for the...

    12V Battery Drain Issue Problem and Temporary Fix as Instructed by Nissan

    Good question. I just assumed since I was able to enable it, it should also be possible to disable... Maybe someone else knows more? Can we do something through leafspy?

    The measurement of Ampere is an instantaneous measurement. You could compare it to water flow, which would have the unit liter/second. If we have established that the average water flow for the first 15 min is e.g. 3 l/s, and all following 15 min cycles are the same, any multiple of 15 min will...

    No, I think the calculation is sound. Note that I'm not calculating A/h or W/h. In fact, such a unit doesn't make sense. The units would also be messed up in the end since the energy stored in the battery is in Ah. Dividing by A/h would give h^2.

    I actually did some more accurate measurements and calculations on that. There are 4 stages of current consumption for every 14 min, as seen here (measured using current clamp, and noting down when the current changed): The first two stages are clearly visible in the graph, but the third was...

    Sounds interesting! It's the first time I hear of OVMS. But it seems it connects to the ODB2-socket. Doesn't that require the system to be woken up every time it measures, basically causing the same problem? Or are you saying a piece of hardware is replaced?

    12V Battery Drain Issue Problem and Temporary Fix as Instructed by Nissan

    In my case I noticed when I could not start the car, or even open the doors with the remote. Then you can measure with a multimeter over the battery of you have one. When completely dead, my battery was around 4 V, but it seems from 11 volts and below your car will not start. I also used...

    12V Battery Drain Issue Problem and Temporary Fix as Instructed by Nissan

    Could be the same issue, although for me it's not sporadic, it was constantly there. I'll post here as soon as I get any more info. No, the AC does not go on, but 3.6 A seems to be the general current draw (for a short while of course, around 1 minute). After that it stays at 1.6 A for around a...

    12V Battery Drain Issue Problem and Temporary Fix as Instructed by Nissan

    I have a working Nissan Connect account, which I got activated after contacting support. For some reason I did not need to pay for it. It was not active when I bought the car, and it worked fine until the fix, so I don't think it has anything to do with a previous owner's account.

    12V Battery Drain Issue Problem and Temporary Fix as Instructed by Nissan

    The battery is new, I exchanged it when the issues started. I also got it load tested the day after the first graph, and it checked out fine. It starts low presumably because my regular driving of 30 min per day is not enough to keep the voltage high. Using my ODB2 scanner I can see the battery...

    12V Battery Drain Issue Problem and Temporary Fix as Instructed by Nissan

    Hi, I have a Nissan Leaf 62 kwh from 2019. I've been having a 12V battery drain issue for a few months, and I have some information that might be of value for others. To diagnose the issue I created a battery logger using raspberry pi zero, an ADC chip and a power bank. With that I logged the...
