Limit charge to 80%

[SageBrush]

I have a 40kW model and need to have it charged by 05:00 each morning. I have a 7.4 kW a.c. home charger which seems to deliver around 6.5 kW to the Leaf. Based on that, I put together the attached table which works reasonably OK (for me, anyway).

A more automatic and simpler way is to set the LEAF to finish charging about 1 - 1.5 housr *later* than you actually leave. In your case, the LEAF pack will end up about 7 - 8 kWh below a full charge. You can tweak it to your preference. You are the perfect candidate for this method

The AC % Charge Limit Kit from EVsEnhanced is plug & play, and allows the driver to select ANY desired maximum AC charge limit, for 2015 models onwards, when Nissan removed this feature 😁
Setting a Nissan Leaf 80% charge limit, 2015 onwards, #LeafBatteryUpgrade 40kwh #EVsEnhanced

$850 though?! Not sure that much money wouldn't be better spent as a down payment on a replacement battery in 10 years.

They're not $850 when Ebay don't need their huge wedge 🤷‍♂️

And, when it's time for a #LeafBatteryUpgrade, they can be Reflashed to be the EVsEnhanced Translator Kit, saving THAT cost during an upgrade.......
Whilst still retaining the Charge Limit Controller feature that ALL the EVsEnhanced Translator Kits offer for 2015 onwards cars 😁

Good luck...

But by all means, if you're successful, please make a how to 😁

Good luck with what? Implementing what I said, or fixing OVMS (which I don't use) so it works?

IIRC, EVsEnhanced list the Charge Limit Kits (and Translator Kits) at $820NZ, plus Taxes - that's only $520US plus Taxes, and it takes minutes to fit, seconds to use, and is upgradeable if needed to be a Translator Kit 😁

Funny, it doesn't show anywhere on their website.

Indeed, it's a very new product, although already stocked and sold by pro-active Resellers 😁

Any good reason to echo the same post multiple times?

For me, it appears there's a glitch in the matrix, making it appear more than once - this isn't the first time I've seen this happen, but FIIK why it does it......

If you're storing the car, there's an "extended storage" fuse you can pull that should keep the Leaf from using any battery while you're gone. I had to have a Leaf mechanic show me where it is. It's behind the panel on the left end of the dash, just around the corner from the charge-port-door button. There's a notch there to put a small screwdriver to pop off the cover. The fuse is at the back near the center of that compartment. You don't remove it, you just pull it toward you (it slides) until it stops. To turn things back on, you just push it in. IIRC, it's white plastic with black plastic around it. There should be a kind of crappy picture of it in your owners manual.

Any illumination on why, when I change the shipping to the US, the kit gets removed from my cart and I thereafter can no longer add it to my cart?

I leave for a 12 day camping trip in two days. I don't see any menu items that will allow me to limit the charging to some set percent, like 80%

I bought a juice box and believe this can limit the charge. But at work they will have some charging available in the future and I don't want to be charging up to 100% every day while at work

if you don't mind having Leaf spy up all the time it's charging, there's a feature in the menu that allows you to alarm at 80%
