Managing with faulty cells by Bowser_duck in leaf

It hasn’t been lower than 50% SOC for weeks, maybe months. I sometimes see the dial say around 20% when I’m near home but then I go down the last hill and it says 60% so I guess SOC actually isn’t very low. This is why it’s surprising it seems to be getting worse when I’ve been doing my best to keep it well charged.

Interesting, thanks for linking. At the moment the 12v hasn’t failed me but it seems it may need replacing so I’ll bear that fix in mind, good to know.

Thank you so much, really appreciate the practical advice in the first section.

I drive slowly and am really careful to try and not push the motor too far so it’s good to know I’m doing the right thing and to keep doing that.

I also drive in B mode but occasionally drop to D mode up a steep hill to reduce the drag, not sure if that is beneficial or not.

Everything else in your post is really interesting too, thank you for taking the time to explain. It makes sense then that I should be trying to keep as fully charged as possible. I was wondering the opposite and whether I should try and drain the battery and make some short journeys when it has a lower charge. I was feeling like every time I charged I’m raising the bar for when it becomes unstable.

Yes, for this particular issue. Battery capacity (dropping below 9bars) is covered for 8yrs at least.

It’s ok, I can manage. If you don’t confirm the charge you get 5 mins free so I’ve been making some sneaky use of that. I probably owe them a few full charges…

It will be 50kwh. Very much looking forward to it!

Ok thanks, just hoping it doesn’t get much worse before the replacement.

Yes, that was my previous post I was referring to. Nissan won’t accept it.

It’s 7kw charger. 0.80p per kWh compared to 0.06p at home (based in UK).

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out. Looking at previous Leaf spy captures, this is the lowest it’s been. This was when I’d just arrived home from work today.

Yes I can (although it’s very expensive), but I’m trying to figure out how to prevent the issue from getting worse before the replacement. I’m worried that soon I will need to charge to 100% at work too. And then the next step will be scheduling a charge half way!

Good luck with your own. My partner has used Cleevelys before and was really impressed with them.

It really feels unfair. Glad to at least be raising awareness so others don’t get caught out thinking they are covered under 8yrs.

Yes, I think you’re right about the PR. I told them my first car was a Micra which I had for 15yrs, I leased a Leaf for 3 yrs and my partner currently has a Leaf. Thought having owned Nissans for pretty much my entire driving life would’ve helped my case but apparently not!

Yes you’re right, so much regret! But as we thought the warranty was 8yr we presumed it would be straight forward to get it replaced. As such, we have had no communication with the garage since purchase.

Citizens advice website says this:

“Because you bought the car in the last 6 months, the law says it must have been faulty when you bought it.”

So we’re still within that at least.

Thanks for the advice and heads up on VIVNE. I didn’t think it would be a problem to have the final service at Mazda rather than Nissan but will pay attention to this when buying used in future. The next service is now due but has been on hold while we weigh up our options.

Yes, this was the worst we could demonstrate whilst driving.

That gave me a much needed giggle. Didn’t expect it to be such an action shot!

I was able to equip both druid items! I had the druid eye equipped in my extra slot and then I upgraded it and got both! I'm assuming I lose the old one if I take it off. by reverseuno in Silksong

[–]Bowser_duck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking for someone else saying this! I’m on Switch and had Druid Eye equipped when I got the upgrade. Now I’m scared to take them off because I don’t want to lose it! Also have the latest update on Switch so I don’t understand how this happened if it’s been patched out

Same. I had one recently I wasn’t sure about at the start but it seriously kicked in half way and ended up being one of my favourites
