Reminds me of planning to plan. :lol:DNAinaGoodWay said:Why announce that you're going to make an announcement?
Personally, I find that unlikely. These batteries do not have a long shelf life and many LEAF owners are now equipped with meters to read the capacity of the battery they purchased. I, for one, would return a battery if it appeared they had sold me a degraded or rejected unit.ILETRIC said:Or better yet -- Nissan wants to clear the warehouses of the old batteries so it can switch all 2015s to lizards.
Subtle way to say.... stop filling our page with battery requests.DNAinaGoodWay said:Why announce that you're going to make an announcement?

Problem is - you don't put your comments inside Rant on / Rant off markersthankyouOB said:I am all about SYB and killing that, at least for us owners, as you all know.
how can there be equity in offering a $100 lease program to owners and those who lease?
^^this, and not being given a price for purchase of a new battery, are the irksome points for me.thankyouOB said:what is the value that I get for returning my somewhat degraded but still recyclable and still useable battery?
how is it possible to NOT sell the most important part in a car as a replacement part?

KJD said:What is Nissan going to say about the Seattle battery vs the new Lizard battery ?
What are they going to say about average life span of the new Lizard battery ?
The old statement said 80% after 5 years and 70% remaining after 10 years.
Thanks for posting that link, I had totally missed that article. Looks like I need to read transport evolved a little more often.JPWhite said:One wonders how much the lizard battery will depend upon revised chemistry or instead on active cooling/heating.
Did you guys see the Transport Evolved pictures of the EV-200 cutaway battery showing a fan and A/C unit inside the pack?

Its quite possible that with active cooling the LEAF maybe able to show comparable battery life independent of climatic differences between regions. So they maybe able to stick to their 80%/5yrs and 70%/10Yrs format globally even if the final numbers edge up or down a little.

It would appear that the new active cooling system is now part of the NV200 this year and if all goes well it will be part of LEAF 2.0 in 2016. Is that your take on this ?
