You need to get LEAF Spy Pro.
I drove a 2011 for two 1/2 years without it.
If you are routinely hitting LBW, it is an essential tool to be able to sanely drive a low capacity LEAF.
Keep in mind you can use the free Leafspy Lite or Leafspy without doing the Leafspy Pro.
Leafspy Lite = $0
Leafspy = $10
Leafspy Pro = $15
I used Leafspy Lite for a 200 mile trip and several days of regular driving before I got the pay version. I might upgrade to the pro version when I get my next rims/tires and have to do the TPMS work. The fact that Turbo3 doesn't penalize you for upgrades and makes the free version work for most of what you absolutely need to buy a used car and test out your ODBII tool is very nice.
Information displayed by all versions (Lite, regular, and pro):
* Voltage of each of the 96 cell pairs (highlighted if shunt active)
* Minimum, average, maximum cell pair voltages
* Histogram of cell pair voltages
* Battery Temperature readings
* Battery AHr rating (this will decease with age and is an indication of remaining capacity)
* VIN
* Odometer
* Number of Quick Charge connections
* Number of L1/L2 Charge connections
* EVSE Max available amps
* EVSE voltage
Additional information displayed by Leaf Spy:
* Battery energy level in GIDs & kWh
* Resetable energy usage meter (Wh resolution)
* Graphic display of SOC, GIDs and DTE (Distance to Empty)
* Remaining distance meter (miles/km) to Event (Low Battery Warning, Very Low Battery Warning or Reserve) based on user selectable energy efficiency
* Graphic display of battery temperature with min, avg, max temperatures
* Tire Pressure of each of the four tires with low pressure warning and delta pressure warning alarm
* Ambient Temperature
* Logging function that records most data and optionally GPS location to a csv file that can be easily imported into excel.
You may want to purchase the "Pro" version which adds the ability to perform functions normally requiring a visit to the dealer.
* Change automatic door lock/unlock settings
* Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
* Register Tire Positions (required after tire rotation or seasonal tire changes so your Leaf knows the correct location of each tire on the car)
* Future ability to reset selected DTCs
