And the lowest SoC before the battery is called dead is ?OrientExpress said:Nissan LEAF Batteries To Outlast Car By 10-12 Years

I wonder which batteries this claim applies to. Maybe starting in 2015 it would be believable but certainly not for the early packs. And of course, how much degradation is allowed? I'm sure a 6 bar loser battery would be useful in a solar backup system for instance, but in a car, not so much.

SageBrush said:thanks for the metric use. So much easier for me to follow.

SageBrush said:I hope the LEAF turns out to be good value for you (meaning that the lease was cheap) but do be aware that MUCH more functional EVS are available.
Nissan has said that they did not offer the "fix" in the US due to low demand. Take that for what it is worth but by all means write them a letter and tell them your opinion.metricus said:Is there a way to fix this? ex: twist someone's hand to install the blue graph software?
metricus said:we are seriously considering a Model 3. I have applied for a repurchase from Nissan. We'll see how that goes...
metricus said:If I had known of this issue I would have not leased this vehicle. This is why I consider Nissan's act of non disclosing the daily range limitation due to overheating to be false advertisement.
Good luck with your quest. Of course given that Nissan devoted an entire section to the battery limitations, and the disclosure form that you may have been presented with may dampen your claim of non-disclosure.

Interesting quote. I presume Nissan will say that sentence applied to throttling to prevent damage and has nothing to do with throttling to slow down degradation.metricus said:Page CH-6: "Quick charging is possible (even several times a day). If the battery temperature is near the red zone, in order to protect the battery, power of the quick charger will be limited."
OrientExpress said:so again for the umpteenth time here is the section that describes that gauge. The key takeaway is that if the white bar on the gauge is between the short blue and short red mark, regardless where on the gauge it is, that is the normal operating temperature.

Or does it interfere with your shill duties ?
Nope, Until LEAF Spy can be certified by Nissan as being a credible measurement tool, it serves no purpose other than to entertain.
LEAF Spy is a perfect toy for experts such as yourself however.
Orient Express,
Since you seem to be a Nissan expert, perhaps you can tell me how and where I can purchase a device certified by Nissan that lets me read accurate data from the car's various modules (especially data related to the traction battery) and perform maintenance/repair functions. As far as I know, Consult 3+ is the only device that might be certified by Nissan and has the capability I want. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find out how/where I can purchase it as a private individual so that leaves me with Leaf Spy Pro as the best alternative that I can actually obtain. I want to send a really big THANK YOU to Jim for creating the application!
