First, we don't care what range is displayed in the dash. Unfortunately, it is grossly inaccurate.
Second, losing one capacity bar is 15% loss in capapcity. The official battery capacity value, per the Nissan service manual for LEAF is as follows. It's important to note that Nissan removed all reference to this data in the April 2011 update of the service manual.
12 of 12 bars - 100% to 85%
11 of 12 bars - 84.99% to 78.75%
10 of 12 bars - 78.74% to 72.50%
9 of 12 bars - 72.49% to 66.25%
8 of 12 bars - 60% to 66.24%
Third, the new warranty will only apply if you have lost 4 bars (leaving 8 illuminated). You have a long way to go.
In other words, everything is Nissan Normal(TM).
