My questions is How can you be sure? Are you positive the Leaf instrumentation measures capacity correctly. They claim it is all an instrumentation issue not a battery issue. The I-MiEV instructs the owner to periodically drive the vehicle almost empty and then recharge fully to keep the

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: LEAF EV Pack Reliability Outperforms Cynics Critics (?)

Well that just verifies what I said. You have no data other than coming from the Leaf instruments. If it calculates capacity incorrectly it will shut down the car. You still don't know if the battery failed or the capacity measurement is off. One would have to measure voltage and amp hours to

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: LEAF EV Pack Reliability Outperforms Cynics Critics (?)

Actually I think the flat V versus capacity of LFP is an asset. It is what enables you to use Ah used, a nice stable, repeatable measurement, that tracks Wh used quite well over most of the capacity of the pack (I've data logged battery V and I using 1 sample/sec and compared them). I've used a

I always use auctionstealer to place a bid within 10 sec before the end of an Ebay auction... I simply won't play this game. I feel that it only encourages unfair practices. If I want something on eBay, I decide what it's worth to me. That's what I bid; and no more. If I get it, fine. If I

Re: [EVDL] Time for battery change

I would suggest and think it would be advisable to go with the Li-ion if you plan on keeping your car. Additionally, a longer range is achievable, but may be more costly than lead acid. For a Li-ion 17kw pack designed for Volt, your are looking at about $4k. For a 24kw pack designed for the Leaf
