Hi everyone. I just became a new leaf owner and bought a 2013 SL leaf with all the bells and whistles for $10,250. It has about 23,500 miles and is perfect condition. When I picked it up It displayed 12 bars charge and 12 capacity. I had to charge it to 80% once to get home and one more time to 80% a day later. I then decided to charge it to 100% one more time and let it settle for about 4 hrs on the charger. It now says 76 miles. I know I need to get Leafspy and I'm looking into which adapter to order for my Samsung. Any recommendations?
But my real question is does it seem reasonable that with the original battery and 23K the battery should have 12 bars of capacity? This car was originally purchased in SoCal and one owner before me and was a lease. The owner really kept it looking like new. But I'm suspecting that someone might have done a reset for the battery in the software (meant for a new battery). I know this is the original battery. And 76 miles does seem a bit low for a full charge but I also realize that this "estimate" is not all that great. Until I get Leafspy I guess I won't know but I do have to take it in to my local dealer to get it updated for the AT&T 3G network for $200. so maybe I can talk them into checking the battery for me.
