I'd say go for it, wait a year or two to see how the new "lizard" battery pans out, then replace that and get a brand new battery, potentially even having "13" bars of capacity due to newer tech in the future.
Wow, that is unusual :shock:MrIanB said:I have a 2011 SL w 8k miles and all bars w Texas heat.

11 bars for a 2011 - is this pretty good? Should we expect to find one with 12 bars?

NorcalGuy said:Didn't get it! Going to buy the one with 11 bars. Will need to drive 30 miles with about 3000 climb. Will we make it? Can charge there.
DaveinOlyWA said:after you get to the top, you won't need to charge. the downhill will take care of that!
Woosie said:Good advice from mc tom, but I will remind you that I love the 6kw charger that came on the 2013 model and wasn't available in the 2011 model.
Use Tony Williams Range chart to evaluate the climb.NorcalGuy said:LeftieBiker said:Climb as slowly as you can.
Uh oh! The climb is about three miles and gains the full 2000 ft. I do it in 2nd and 3rd gear in my bimmer. It's not good to hold up traffic. Am I blowing it to get the used Leaf?
