NOTE:
Charging time is typically limited to 60 min-
utes when using a quick charger. Push the
start switch on the quick charger after it
stops if additional charge time is necessary
to reach an 80% charge.
For additional information, refer to “How to quick
charge” in this section.
Power Limitation Mode
This mode protects the health and operation of
the vehicle’s Li-ion battery. This mode operates in
certain extreme conditions (heat, cold, low state
of charge). Power available to vehicle systems,
including its traction motor, is limited resulting in
limited performance, acceleration and top speed.
Charging may be automatically terminated, espe-
cially with repeated quick charging in extreme hot
weather.
Checking Li-ion battery charge
The three methods for checking the amount of
charge are as follows:
• Check by using the Li-ion battery available
charge gauge on the meter when the power
switch is placed in the ON position. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Li-ion battery avail-
able charge gauge” and “Li-ion battery low
charge warning” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual.
•
Check by using an internet enabled smart phone
or personal computer. For additional information,
refer to the LEAF Navigation System Owner’s
Manual (models with navigation system).
• Check by using the charging status indicator
light. For additional information, refer to “Charg-
ing status indicator lights” in this section.
NOTE:
• During the charge operation, charge con-
tinues when the power switch is placed in
the ON position.
• The Li-ion battery cannot be charged if the
quick charge connector and the normal
charge connector are connected at the
same time. If another charge connector is
connected mid-charge, charging will stop.
• For safety reasons, it is not possible to
switch to the READY to drive position
while a charge connector is connected.
• During charging, it is possible that the
radio may be inaudible due to noise by the
electromagnetic wave.
HOW TO NORMAL CHARGE
WARNING
• If you use any medical electric devices,
such as an implantable cardiac pace-
maker or an implantable cardiovascu-
lar defibrillator, check with the electric
medical device manufacturer concern-
ing the effects that charging may have
on implanted devices before starting
the charge operation. Charging may
affect the operation.
• Be sure to follow the precautions for
using the charger that can be installed
in your home. Failing to do so could
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• Do not use any charging equipment
that is not compatible with the LEAF.
Doing so could prevent the Li-ion bat-
tery from charging properly or could
result in damage to the vehicle or Li-
ion battery.
• Normal charge uses the charging device (AC
220 - 240 volt, 16A or 32A) that can be in-
stalled in your home to charge the Li-ion battery.
