your GID count was 264 on the replacement pack? that sure does not sound like a new one to me
Do we know for sure that they swap the entire battery? And not replacing only defective cells? (Firm references please, not deductions/theories/conjectures. [This is not directed at anyone in particular.])
Observation on range of the "new battery" will also be very helpful.

278 GIDS the other day on a public EVSE, maybe my EVSEupgrade equipment at home is short-changing me. It is a new battery and I've already put over 1,000 miles on it.

February 03, 2014 dsh Phoenix, AZ 28,870 miles 19 months 3/11 01069 4th Capacity Bar Lost. Will wait for 'Hot Battery' availability before replace.
I updated the feb total in the post above.
With 28,870 I would be tempted to get the cold pack now and assume I could make another battery by 60,000. Probably getting a hot battery then.dhanson865 said:New 4 bar loser on the list, dsh added it to the wiki but didn't post here

That assumes the 2013 chemistry degrades at the same rate as the 2011/2012s. Nissan has assured us that it is better and we do not have enough field data to verify one way or the other.smkettner said:With 28,870 I would be tempted to get the cold pack now and assume I could make another battery by 60,000.

Rick, congrats on getting the Tesla! Soooo jealousrickbecker said:vrwl said:Finally lost my first bar today: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=974&start=810#p351947" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sorry Vicki!
Nissan has not assured us the 2013 chemistry tweaks affected battery durability at all as far as I'm aware. Unless they told you guys on the advisory group something they didn't tell the public. IIRC, they said they were mainly made to help reduce the cost and not to expect any change in performance otherwise.RegGuheert said:That assumes the 2013 chemistry degrades at the same rate as the 2011/2012s.

You're right, they told us the focus was on cost and weight reductions. Still, the possibility is there that the 2013 batteries are longer-lived than the 2011/2012s.drees said:Nissan has not assured us the 2013 chemistry tweaks affected battery durability at all as far as I'm aware.

I can't find the post but LeafFan in Phoenix has a 13 and has lost his first bar.RegGuheert said:We should be getting some instrumented readings from 2013 owners by now, particularly in Pheonix. Unfortunately all we have early on from 2011/2012 owners are reports of bar losses, so comparisons are difficult. Still, it will be interesting to see how the 2013s are faring.
