How do the "lizard" batteries perform in cold weather ? It's my
understanding they were produced to solve the "phoenix" problem, which
doesn't apply to seattle.
Regardless of range, you're saying the lizard battery won't degrade as
quickly ?
I'd like to get about 60 mile range in 25F degree weather (arbitrary,
and I can be flexible, but at some point it isn't worth it). My
experience with the OEM battery is roughly 50% range at 25F versus 70F.
If I buy a used lizard that has, say 60 mile range at 70F, what can I
expect at 25F ?
(By the way, I'm scouring the Internet in parallel, but the comments on
this list are very helpful.)
Thanks,
Peri

We had the battery in our 2013 Leaf replaced with a 2015 24 kWh battery
by Leo & Sons in Lawrence, MA. We are very happy with the result. They
charged us $4600. We didn't have to do anything but drop off the car
and pick it up later.
I wouldn't recommend a 30 kWh battery. The newer 24 kWh "lizard"
batteries have much better calendar life than the 30 kWh ones, so when
you're getting an old battery from a crashed car, you might well get
more range from a 24 kWh. See
