Just checked my 2015 leaf s for the first time after seeing the awesome results here.

10 months since purchasing new off the truck.

Is there a way to calculate gids from total voltage? I only have leaf spy lite.
Also, it shows 4 QC's, I only did 3 and my dealer doesn't have an L3, so I assume the first one happened at the factory? L1/2 charges was 354, way more than I have done. Since I use the charge timer do those count double, once at plug in time and again when it starts charging?

Your GIDS are Awesome!!

??? - Anything you can disclose to the group on how you have maintained the original max GIDS or did you get a supercharged 300 gids "off the truck from Smryna TN" ???

I and others have driven 2015s a heck of a lot harder than that and still have 292 gids and 64.38 ahr. QC is 67 L1/L2 is 756 and millage just went over 20k (32k km). The only 2 things I've done is left it at 50% and 70% SOC for the 2 different weeks I was away and avoid charging if the SOC is already above 80% (although I have done that maybe 4 times). I plug in when power gets cheap after 7pm or when I need it and leave at either 4am or 1030am depending on my shift then charge at L1 at work 45 miles later for 10 hrs. With the rumour that 2016s will have a larger capacity pack I'm starting to think there may be a slight off chance that the 2015s have it but it isn't opened up and is thus going to absorb capacity loss in the unused portion of the pack for the first few years.

?? Big question - how do you strictly moderate your 80% max threshold for an end result 80 SOC% ??

Best I have done is to set a charger stop time but that appears to take a daily intervention in the cockpit and I am lazy and not religious on that maneuver. Wish they had the 80% option back if this is what is causing your unusual success of 292 GIDS, very few mmake this milestone in the posts past 5-6 months after birth.

No I always charge to 100% unless it's a QC or my work L1 doesn't get me there. The times I said I don't charge if the SOC is already above is if I unplug, drive around town then come back home with 80%+. If I'm going to work the next day I'll drive it hard to make sure it's lower when I get back and avoid all regen. In the winter I need 100% so that's why I've done it a few times.

I just got my Leaf on 5/1/15 with 15 miles (of which at least 5 were from my test drive). I need to look up the MFG date. Most of the numbers seem a little low for how new it is compared to others.

Comments?

Where can I find details about what each number means and how they relate to each other?

Anecdotal evidence is that (when it comes to the 2015s at least) capacity grows a little bit in the months following delivery. So you'll probably see some improvement as you deplete and recharge.

Check the sticker on the inside of the driver door. Odds are that your car sat on the lot for a bit which is why your number are a bit lower than usual. I've got 10 months and 12K of driving on my MY15 Leaf S and here's what I learned about the 2015 lizard back in that period of time. (1) The battery likes to be cycled through 30%-100%. Don't feel badly about charging it to 100%, but try not to leave it at 100% for long period of time. If you can charge up in the AM and do your commute soon afterward, great! (2) The batteries are taking much more abuse than prior years. It seems like the more people use them, the higher GIDS they show. There's people on here with 14K miles and 292 Gids and they QC all of the time. (3) The numbers on our leafstat/leafspy apps seem to bounce around, at least mine do. I read 292 until about 4K miles (my car sat on the lot for 3 months in summer before I bought it), I tried to baby the battery from 4K - 8K miles, charge to 80%, etc... and my numbers hovered between 285-274 (this was also during winter). Starting in February, I just tried to cycle through it, charge to 100%, drive to 30% and do over day after day and my numbers came up! Now they range from 284-288 Gids? Hence the conclusion to just drive the thing.

My leaf was manufactured in the fall, I purchased it the day it came off the truck, so the majority of its use has been in the Iowa winter. It has always been 292 GIDS. We drive it every single day. Its stored in an insulated garage, so temp swings affect it less. Charging is pretty much random, my wife drives it and plugs it in every time she gets to work (6.6kW L2), sometimes its dead, sometimes nearly full, sometimes in the middle. Its usually charged to 100%. I have heard charging at 6.6kW is best for it, maybe there is something to that. We drive it all highway 55-60mph.

Got a new (to me) 2015 SV (no QC) a few weeks ago and am just getting around to posting stats from the battery:

Don't all of these 290+ GID readings lend some credence to the claim that the 2015 battery packs may have more capacity than in previous years?! Based on the widely reported 281 (max) GID readings from past Leafs (like mine), wouldn't the extra 10+ GIDs be worth another 1-2 kW or so in capacity? What a great bonus for those of us lucky enough to get a 2015 "lizard" replacement pack under warranty! :D
 
292/281 = <4% increase, so it would be <1kWh. Although I would love to think that Nissan is going to give me an extra kWh of capacity when they replace my degraded pack, you would think they would have taken advantage of it by advertising a 4% increase in range for the 2015's also.

I think you're forgetting that Nissan would rather not draw attention to the fact that they are "upgrading" in the first place. It's sort of like "don't ask a question you don't want to know the answer to". It they made a big deal out of any capacity gain for "old" Leafs, the first question asked would be: why did you need/offer to replace it in the first place?! I will gladly take whatever capacity gain we can get, but I don't think we'll ever get Nissan to admit to it (unfortunately).
