I had my 2013 Leaf inspected and returned it on Jan. 6, about 6 months early. I was going to wait a little longer, but a gorgeous 2013 Volt came into my life and I couldn't pass it up. For where I live, with charging infrastructure still in the Flintstone era, the Volt is the way to go. The...

Well, the ongoing vampire drain issue with my 2013 Leaf S returned, 3 months after the dealer did a software upgrade and replaced the battery, (12v) which tested fine, as I knew it would. I had purchased a nice clamp-on DC ammeter and had left the car in drain mode (by not disconnecting the...

My 2013 vampire drain issue recurred in Mid April after an over 2 month hiatus. I thought my last reset with a 12 hour wait had solved the problem, but no. I lived with it until June 17 when I was able to get it to the dealer for the annual battery check, and to perform the two recalls I had...

I just completed a 700 mile road trip from my home in Kettle Falls, WA to the Seattle area and back. It was an interesting experience! I have a portable AV EVSE with an adapter cord to plug in to RV park NEMA 14-50's. I made one faux-pas in Wilbur, WA and didn't put quite enough charge in. The...

I sure hope Nissan is paying attention to all these dead batteries. My 2013S tried to do it again after a charging session last night. Two weeks to the day since the last time. Always happens after charging. Tried to make it to the dealer in Spokane today while it was in "drain" mode, but...

Well, my battery drain dilemma has taken a new twist. I had originally posted that I thought the bluetooth was the culprit, powering up randomly and searching for a paired phone. So we started turning the bluetooth off on our phones. All was fine for a month, thought I had found the problem...

My 2013 Leaf S ran its 12v battery stone dead in about 36 hours last Sunday-Tuesday. Unplugged it after charging on Sunday, stone dead Tuesday morning. I knew something had changed since my battery tender was no longer able to get the battery up to the float voltage which turns the light from...

I've leased a new 2013 Leaf S with large charger option. Twice now, the 12v battery has been found dead, after one week, then two weeks of ownership. Calling the dealer produced no useful information. I have discovered that powering the Leaf off from ACC mode causes the battery to drain to stone...
