19 500 milesHow many miles? My leaf has now done 39000 in 2.5 years (although much less in the last 6 months) and i am on about 89.6%
I purchased my leaf 40 with only 3700 miles on the clock at 2 years old.19 500 miles
How is your leaf used?My leaf 40 is just over 2 years and I'm down to 91%
I thought I was being careful with the battery, is this normal?
When does warranty kick in?
Thanks 😊
Thanks for the info. I did a lot of rapids in my first year but mostly fast charging in year 2. I have taken pics of my SOH and if I pull the data will share on here. So maybe too many rapids are not good for your battery. Whatever you are doing seems to be good for your batteryI purchased my leaf 40 with only 3700 miles on the clock at 2 years old.
My first scan with leaf spy was done at 4350 miles (as I was concerned that it had done a lot of sitting around for 2 years) I was quite pleased with 96.5% SOH.
I scanned again yesterday @ 5780 miles and it was 96.38% my car has never been rapid charged though if it continues to loose SOH at the current rate over the next 13000 miles it would be around 95% when it’s done 19k if I’ve done my maths correctly?
I have no idea if SOH loss is linear though?
I guess from your figures it probably going to accelerate?
My car came from llandudno in Wales according to the home address that had been left in the sat nav so from its age / mileage I’m going to hazard a guess that it was used to go to the shops one a week and not a lot else! 😂
Everyone says that lack of use is really bad for an EV but from my experience I think my car has disproved that.
From what I’ve read I think heat is the enemy of battery health, so a car that is used on motorways / A roads at sustained speed and rapid charged a lot will decline much faster than one that is pretty much exclusively used for city driving and never rapid charged.
I use mine for delivering food to businesses all day (about 65 miles a day all city on average)
Uses about 50% SOC per day and run it 80-30% and plug into a 7kw home charger each evening.
Only time will tell if mine hold up better than most.
The nissan brochure says 9 bars out of 12. Would that mean each bar is 8.3%? If so, warranty only kicks in when battery is below 75%. If my battery degrade continues would hit would hit 72.4% in 8 years so would need warranty.When does any of the battery bar first disappear on a 40? Mine had done 17000 at about 18 months old and the in car display hadn't dropped. Meant to check it with LeafSpy but forgot.
thanks for this, I am 5% below the normAccording to the data collected by Geotab the average Leaf drops to 96% SOH after two years.

Lithium batteries degrade most rapidly when they are new, you should see this level out as your vehicle ages.I'm alarmed degradation can be this rapid, I've just approached the cars 1st year and already at 97% @ only 4,700 miles after 12 Rapids. (Car stored by dealer October - March), I thought Nissan and Panasonic had nailed the battery reliability.... a bit apprehensive now as I purchased outright for a 10 yr ownership.
Well based on the graph above, and the average battery being @ 96% SOH @ 2 years I'd say it would be tracking just above the graph for the 30Kw Leaf.I wonder what the graph for the 40 Leaf looks like?
Is this the large number that appears top right on leaf spy? I usually get about 12mVI have been doing this for 2 weeks now and the imbalance has dropped from 92mV to when I purchased the car @ 2 years old to 76mV this seems to be improving by between 1 - 2 mV per charge cycle by top balancing every day.
