    How to Quickly & Simply Charge a Leaf’s Weak 12 Volt Battery

    I came back in a day and the Leaf still wouldn't shift out of N. I don't get the chimes and it still says PS. I'm going to try jump starting it from my S (with another Ohmmu in it).

    12 Volt Battery enhancement

    Not with a 12V. What you're thinking of is a range extender. https://www.muxsan.com/English/products.html

    How to Quickly & Simply Charge a Leaf’s Weak 12 Volt Battery

    I just installed my Ohmmu without trickle charging it up. It was $265.30 + $19 which is comparable to an AGM. I was wondering whether trickle charging was necessary. I'm pretty sure it's necessary because I got the PS warning and then the car wouldn't shift into drive. Looking over the threads...

    has anyone installed a strut tower brace?

    Dala had a video on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBjMKKQE-Ws

    TCU Disconnect Service

    Dala has some software, LeafEnhancer, and he's been working on deleting the nag screen. So what's in the video may be some working in progress but he hasn't released NagscreenRemover yet. https://github.com/dalathegreat/LeafEnhancer-UserManual

    TCU Disconnect Service

    I just got my SL and I have a stack of upgrades to do. This is one but I haven't even installed the OVMS yet. I disconnect the TCU later today when air filter shows up. That said, it makes sense that the OVMS would need access to the AV CAN bus in order to shutdown the nag screen which is...

    Replacing NissanConnectEV with OVMS in a Gen1 Leaf

    I don't solder but what problems did you have constructing this cable? In any case, I found someone in Shenzhen on Alibaba who makes these cables. She didn't have the male GT16 part because seriously, this is about the ONLY cable that uses the male GT16 part. Otherwise she would have made one...

    Replacing NissanConnectEV with OVMS in a Gen1 Leaf

    Has anyone succeeded at using the original TCU GSM antenna for the OVMS? There's a thread on OVMS. https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2435 They used to make this cable in Japan. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Antenna-Extension-GT16-Conversion-Connector-Small-–/dp/B00WYTNT44/ Probably the only...

    TCU Disconnect Service

    I have a new to me 2013 SL and the CARWINGS Unit ID information screen gives a Unit ID and a TCUID. However, when I took it to the dealer they said that the P7332 recall had already been performed. So rather than deal with the dealer anymore, I'll just follow this thread's advice and do it...

    Leaf SV Wheel Aero Inserts

    I think you meant 0.1 miles per kWh. If the Leaf gets 32 kWh per 100 miles then 100% * 0.1 / (100/32) = 3.2% That's actually seems pretty good. At $650/yr in electricity costs that's about $20/yr. These ecomods stack and you also get better range, lower electricity bills and a better battery life.

    The official "I got my Leaf" thread

    I had the LED/QC package on the SV and I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. I'm going to look at the fog lights and they'll probably get LEDs for use as DRLs. Since the SL has high beam assist, I'll be looking at LEDs for the high beams as well. However, there appear to be a lot of LED...

    The official "I got my Leaf" thread

    I previously owned a 2013 SV. Its battery degraded over the years and in fact, I didn't baby it. So when it came time for an upgrade the only thing Nissan was offering was like for like for $6000, and 3rd party pack swaps weren't a thing yet. That put me back into the market and I got a CPO...

    2013 SL/AroundView headunit upgrade for CarPlay

    I'd like to upgrade the headunit for a 2013 SL with AroundView/Bose in order to get CarPlay (courtesy of the Xanavi software). I think the 2013 headunit is supposed to be plug compatible with a 2016/17 "30kwh" headunit. Is this upgrade plug compatible? Are there any other headunits that would...

    2016 vs 2017 30 kWh battery?

    With respect to the traction battery, are these basically the same or did the 2017 get any better based on Nissan's experience with the 2016s? I ask because I'm looking at late model low mile 2016s and 2017s. 2016s are quite reasonable and there's a ton at Kirkland WA. But 2017s lease returns...

    CarWings miles/kwh differs from Dashboard miles/kwh

    Thanks. I haven't (knowingly) ever reset either mileage indicator. The 4.3 and 4.0 numbers are, to the best of my knowledge, for 22,883 miles of the car.

    CarWings miles/kwh differs from Dashboard miles/kwh

    Carwings says that I'm getting 4.0 miles/kwh. Dashboard display says that I'm getting 4.3 miles/kwh. Anyone understand why they are different?

    steam coming from front hood

    Ok, I tried to duplicate it and failed. After 45 minute the hood was cool, no steam, nada. I'll just have to keep an eye on it.

    steam coming from front hood

    Pretty sure it was steam since I didn't smell anything but I didn't pop the hood. It went away when I turned the car off. I will see if I can duplicate it tomorrow and I'll take better situational notes.
