A couple of comments: 1) Losing a bar of battery capacity at 20,000 miles is NOT normal for the 2013 and newer LEAFs. We had 98% of original capacity left at 30,000 miles on our 2013, others are reporting similar numbers. 2011 and 2012, especially in hot areas do lose significant capacity, but Nissan appears to have fixed the problem. 2) The LEAF cells put out 3.6 to 4.1 volts, depending on state of charge. So, 60AH of LEAF cells is somewhat more energy than 60AH of calb 3.2 volt cells. This makes implementing a battery gauge easier too. I'm going to be using 2013 or newer LEAF cells for a VW conversion. I'm ok with using 2012 cells in my lawnmower. Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
