• Check by using the Li-ion battery available
charge gauge on the meter when the power
switch is placed in the ON position. See “Li-ion
battery available charge gauge” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section and “Li-ion battery
low charge warning” in the “Instruments and
controls” section.
HOW TO NORMAL CHARGE
•
•
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.
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.
CAUTION
• Check by using the charging status indicator
light. See “Charging status indicator lights” in
this section.
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.
NOTE:
• During the charge operation, charge con-
tinues when the power switch is placed in
the ON position.
•
If you have an implantable cardiac
pacemaker or an implantable cardio-
vascular defibrillator, while the Li-ion
battery is charging:
• Normal charge uses the charging device (AC
220 - 240 volt, 20A) that can be installed in your
home to charge the Li-ion battery.
• 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.
– Do not stay inside the vehicle.
– Do not go inside the vehicle, for ex-
ample to remove or place an item in
the passenger compartment.
– Do not open the rear hatch, for ex-
ample to remove or place an item in
the cargo area.
Charging may affect the operation of
electric medical device and result in
serious personal injury or death.
• Immediate charge, charging timer and remote
charge (models with navigation system) can be
performed in the normal charge mode. See
“Charging methods”.
• For safety reasons, it is not possible to
switch to the READY to drive position
while a charge connector is connected.
• The Genuine NISSAN charging equipment
communicates with the vehicle before Li-ion
battery charging starts. If this communication
does not occur because other equipment is
used, the Li-ion battery will not charge.
• During charging, it is possible that the
radio may be inaudible due to noise by the
electromagnetic wave.
