Once they get approval from Nissan which should only take a day it'll take around 4-6 weeks. The dealership will not get any tracking or specific ETAs, the pack will just show up one day in their daily deliveries.
Sweet!Tonyt said:@Firetruck, I happened to need a quick charge today and that dealer happen to have a leaf tech that was about to show up to work. Got my battery tested and it failed. I'm supposed to be approved for replacement, they are still working on the paperwork. Hope they can give me a ETA tomorrow!

44,116 miles, SOH - 64%, AHr - 42.38, Hx - 43.40%, 57.7% GIDs (162)
Max charge was getting me around 50 miles. So, let's just say that I am super glad to get a new battery. I'll post updates on how the replacement goes.
Just picked the car back up from the dealer after they okayed the replacement. Battery is ordered as of yest/today. Hoping I won't have to wait too long. I believe they said 4-6 weeks for me (in Oklahoma). I'll keep updates on here as well as my new battery readings when I get it back.

I can smell the 8th bar coming, but I think Nissan is not going give it to me :x .

Good luck to everyone else out there in a similar quandry. BTW, the regimen I maintaned was:
-- Recharge as often as possible.
-- Run it all the way down as often as possible.
-- Get the battery temp up. This was done via a combo of accellerating/coastng-breaking (to alternate rapidly between discharge and charge) and, when in the car solo, turning the heater up to 90 and opening the windows.
-- Always take the long way home.

For those who might use this post as a reference, you had me all the way up to....turning the heater up to 90 and opening the windows.
I don't understand the rationale (heater consumption << high speed driving consumption), but I also don't know how you survived it!

FIrst: Thanks!
Heater: It is a small draw compared to the floor-it/drop-it acceleration game, but the extra, constant drain -- and, I dunno, possibly the heat itself -- would hasten the battery going from 5 to 6 bars on the temp display. On 62 degree days, I could get that battery temperature up relatively quickly.
One day, I took the battery down from 3 range bars to 1 by running the heat at 90 with the car parked in the garage with the windows down.
My wife would use the car to pick up our youngest from practice, and then do loops up and down hills (hills good; freeways better) in a loop to run down the battery (heater off). Drove the unwilling passenger nuts.
Whatever, all that together worked. Improbably.

Well, you'll be more likely to get it to 100% on a regular basis with L2, but if you're getting to 100% most every night, you really can't improve on that.Gorge said:...Does it really matter if I continue to top it off to 100% via trickle or level 2? I'm thinking of installing a level 2 at my house (rental), but not sure how much better (or worse depending on how you look at it) for battery degradation if I had a level 2. I wanted to take advantage of the upcoming weather to knock off as many AHrs as possible, but still unsure if I want to fork out money to get a 240v installed. I do have an EVSE though.
Thanks, matches the feeling in our family!QueenBee said:Seriously amazing timing. I'm so incredible happy for you.
I worried about that too. "Oh great, now I've degraded my battery AND I'M STUCK WITH IT." A few weeks ago I'd decided to give up and throttle back, start (my tame version of) hypermiling again...but my wife convinced me to keep the pedal to the metal (literally and figuratively); good call, Mrs. B. But even so, I figured I could keep doing my current short commute (with free chargers at work) for another couple years, then consider what I want to do with the car. Not an issue now! /*pinches self to be sure he's not dreaming*/QueenBee said:My biggest fear is I'd "put in the work" to push the battery near the edge but it wouldn't be enough to fall over in time.
I'm back to driving sensibly while waiting for the new battery, and indeed, regen is a fond memory. I mean, it's there, but just barely.QueenBee said:Like you I had lots of extra miles so did lots of driving like you. It's amazing how easy it is to get the battery temps up with quick driving and cycling, though as it aged regen became laughable. Night driving when it got a bit chilly was always fun to roll down the windows and crank the heat.
OTOH, 62% isn't my definition of 'approximately 70%', so you might want to try Nissan and/or the BBB. What was it at 60k?hillzofvalp said:My 9th bar dropped recently at
41.31Ah
62% SOH
41.66% Hx
2012
Hair over 62,000.
Why did it drop so late? No idea. No warranty replacement for me.
