I just got back from my dealer and I have a battery question. I did a little searching and didn't get much, so here goes;
I have been getting the EV system fault light after charging, although the car charges correctly. I just discovered here the trick about unplugging slowly, so I'll try that. What bugs me is that I took it in to be checked, and the service tech said it might be because I am charging to 100% and Nissan recommends 80%. But my Leaf is a 2014, and doesn't even have that option. I see from this thread that the car really tops out at 96% or so anyway to protect the battery, so I think the tech was wrong. If the tech wasn't wrong, who has a good idea for how to limit the charging? I don't charge at regular intervals. Sometimes I charge overnight and then again mid day, other times I don't charge for 2 or 3 days. The car seems fine, and really my only gripe is the stupid source button on the steering wheel, so I guess I am pretty lucky. Thanks.
