Fenix unit is a reconditioned battery, not new! Warranty might be an issue. A new Nissan battery will come with a 60K/5 yr warranty if I remember correctly. Fenix's battery warranty/exchange plan is at extra cost. I'd be careful about Fenix as it's still in startup mode and could quickly disappear.69800 said:I am negotiating with the dealer. I had delivered the car and signed paperwork for a 5500 battery installed out the door. Then the called and said it would be $8500 because the price went up. I said we had a contract. The got in touch with nissan and now it looks like $7500 installed. (Nissan is going to give me a $1000 credit maybe)
I see Fenix is going to be $6000 for the battery and $1500 for the install. So for the same price is there any reason to prefer Fenix over Nissan if the cost is the same

Fenix is selling a used battery. I've not heard of any "reconditioning" on it.johnlocke said:Fenix unit is a reconditioned battery, not new
I think the $1k discount is 'trade in' on your old battery.69800 said:Nissan gave me a $1000 discount so my install will be $7500. Our leaf is in excellent condition with 9 bars. They are in such bad financial condition I figured I would get a new battery now and drive it it for 8 or 10 more years before the go bankrupt. Its been a great car. I feel like for $7500 I am getting a brand new leaf.

For that price or maybe a bit more, you can get a salvaged 40 kwh pack and drive it 3-8 years before it degrades down to a brand new 24 kwh pack range.

That was my thought, as well. Getting the swap done correctly is the key.

Hopefully in a few more years there will be lots of shops offering battery swaps, but for most people there won't be any options (other than perhaps DIY) for quite awhile.
I warned this forum multiple times about this possibility but @daveInOly and others were positive that packs were being built JIT to put in the car. They are obviously wrong ... again.DougWantsALeaf said:Fascinating. This means while they have exhausted their 30kWh batteries, but still have old 24kWh batteries hanging around.
The 5 year clock starts from the date the car is sold/leased the first time.DougWantsALeaf said:I have to imagine once the 2016 24kWh packs pass warranty (so early next year),
I wonder if there is any chance that the November 2017 date refers to the manufacture date for the shell, and that they actually put new cells inside. Though if that was the case, I'd expect a new sticker on the outside to that effect, possibly beside the original sticker. So: shell manufactured Nov 2017, cells manufactured March 2020 (or whenever).69800 said:I asked the Service Manager to check the date of manufacture on the new battery and guess what...... November 2017 !!!!!!!!
