Capacity Loss on 2011-2012 LEAFs

[cwerdna]

As of August 1st 2015 we lost our second bar. We now sit at 51.51Ahr, 78%SOH and Hx 60.23%, 37,016 miles, 3245 L1/L2 charges and 0 DCQC charges.

Not likely to lose the other two in the next 8 months, but you never know.

... As of today, 1st of June 2014 we have 54.91Ahr SOH 83% and Hx 68.63%, 25,382 miles, 1890 L1/L2 charges and 0 DCQC charges. ...

That's quite good considering that you live in a pretty hot part of CA. Saw your 1st bar post. It seems like your efforts did pay off.

Nobody's efforts paid off. The losers who care are stuck with a severely degraded pack after the capacity warranty is over. Speaking from experience.

Well, there are some who never would've or likely wouldn't have qualified for a free replacement under the 5 year/60K mile capacity warranty.

Fair point.

Joining the club. Just lost my 4th bar last night. Reported the loss to Nissan this morning.
I updated the Wiki with my details, repeating here for consistency.

I will be taking my LEAF to Nissan at the end of October, no need to put new battery through this summer too

Assuming things go the way I expect/hope, and I loose bar 9 some time within the next two months, I'll wait until after October too. In fact, if my driving needs don't change any between now and December, I may wait until the last couple of weeks my warranty being valid. It'll be an excellent Christmas gift!

43.65 AHr, 66.54% Capacity as of last Sunday. Just 0.09AHr away from where jpvleaf lost her 9th bar (though a massive 1.88AHr away from where brettcgb supposedly lost his).

66.54% SOH?
43.65/66.25 = 65.9% capacity if 66.25 was brand new AHr?

But who's counting, right?

43.50AHr; 66.31% Capacity today. I'm sitting right on the theoretical upper threshold for bar 9 loss and have crossed the upper threshold seen in the real world. So it is literally a waiting game now.

Hmmm, my mind is seeing a blue Leaf sitting in the sun right now at 100% SOC, perhaps even parked next to a west facing wall with aluminum siding, or at least painted white
