    Annual Battery Check service

    I'm sitting in my local Nissan dealership getting the airbag recall done. I asked them how much it would cost to also do the annual battery check. I haven't had this service done before. I understand it is covered for the first two years of warranty, but I purchased an out-of-warranty Leaf...

    A recent decline

    Hi Leafers, I purchased my Leaf in Nov. of 2015. It was off lease from a cool climate (Chicago) and only had 14K miles on it. I was very pleased with the early readings I was getting from LeafSpy. Here's a sampling from Jan (Date/AHr/SOH/Hx): 1/4/2016 63.83 97% 96.88 1/4/2016 63.758 97%...

    Leaving at the airport for 1 week

    I have a trip coming up in March in which I will need to leave my Leaf at the Airport for a week. I have never left it alone that long so I have a couple of questions. 1 - how much battery depletion should I expect from it sitting? If I leave it at 50%, what should I expect it to be at when I...

    LeafSpy Pro questions/observations

    I've been using LSP now for a month, so I have learned my way around the app and have a good bit of data stored and I have a couple of questions. 1. The display of battery cells (screen 1) says that a red line indicates a bleeder load being applied to balance the cell. Have you ever seen it...

    USB splitter in the USB port

    Has anyone ever tried using a USB splitter (Y cable, etc.) in the USB port? I want to leave my iPod connected but also connect my iphone and I'm wondering if the Leaf unit will freak out at detecting 2 different devices there.

    Dealer access to service records

    I have read several posts where people say they got their dealer to pull service records based on their Leaf's VIN. I called my local Nissan dealer and the guy acted like it was impossible. I know that with my Prius, the Toyota dealership had access to the vehicle's service history where it...

    Thump/popping in wheel/axle area

    Sometimes I hear a low popping/thumping sound coming from around my front wheel when taking off slowly while the wheel is slightly turned. I can'd decide if this is just normal wheel sounds that I'm not used to hearing because of the quietness of the electric motor. any ideas?

    2013 Warranty ending soon

    My 3year/36K mi. warranty is going to expire (time not mileage) in April. Are there any common failures that I should look out for before I lose coverage?

    Eco Rankings

    So I was poking around the owner portal/nissanconnect ev and was looking through the eco rankings. I was all patting myself on the back for getting platinum, averaging 5.0 m/kwh and then I looked at the regional rankings, where I am #5,638 and saw that the regional champion averages 20.1 m/kwh...

    Short charging

    Is there any harm in stopping a full cycle short? Scenario: Charging to 100% is on, dash reports 4:30 to full charge. I only have ~3hrs to let it charge. Am I doing it harm by pulling it out of the charge cycle early?

    How far to let it go down?

    So I'm still getting a feel for driving electric. This is my first week with the Leaf, and so far I have barely let the battery drop below 50%. But I realize there has to be some benefit to letting it drop a little more than that between charges. Range anxiety aside, which for me gets better...
