My 2011 LEAF warranty ran out
My 2011 LEAF warranty ran out yesterday. I'm three bars down and have been monitoring the batteries with LEAF Spy. Nissan "upgraded" my software a couple years ago. In the process in order to protect themselves from the battery warranty costs, they limited the full charge on type 3 chargers to 80%. This is pretty well known. What few people know is they also limited the full charge on type 1 & 2 chargers to less than 96%. When less than 16 miles are driven, this "full charge" number drops even further. This means that somewhere around 50% of the time I have less than 70% capacity in my batteries after a "full charge". I've set my LEAF to charge at night on my type 2 charger for 6 hours. It doesn't fully charge. I've also used the on-board timer to set up 100% charge. Doesn't happen. These guys are crooks
