CHARGING METHODS

NOTE:

CHARGING TIMER

• Depending on the charging station, the

lock mechanism established by local

standards may not be compatible with

your vehicle. It may not be possible for

the charge connector to lock to your

vehicle.

Use charging timer to schedule when the

Li-ion battery charges. The vehicle auto-

matically begins charging at the scheduled

times when the charge connector is con-

nected to the vehicle. The timers do not

need to be reset each time the Li-ion bat-

tery needs charging.

• When the power source is cut off while

charging in AUTO mode, the connector

will be continuously locked for 5 min-

utes, then it will be released.

The charging timer can save two timer set-

tings that include the charging start time

and end time. The charging timer can be

applied to the timer settings for each day

of the week (models with Navigation Sys-

tem).

• When timer charging is set with AUTO

mode, the connector will not lock until

charging is started.

The vehicle automatically begins charging

at the scheduled times when the charge

connector is connected to the vehicle. The

Chg. Timer Only at HOME (models

with Navigation System)

If you register your home in the navigation

system and turn on “Chg. Timer Only at

HOME,” the timer charging is applied only

when the normal or trickle charge is per-

formed at home. For additional informa-

tion, refer to the NissanConnect® Manual

(for Leaf) for the registration. When the

charging is performed at a place other

than home, the charging automatically

starts when a normal or trickle charge con-

nector is connected to the vehicle.

Charging CH-45

NOTE:

If “Full charge has priority” is turned on, it

is possible that the battery is not

charged fully by the charge end time due

to the operating condition of Climate

Ctrl. Timer and the tolerance of charging

time, etc. In that case, the charging con-

tinues until the Li-ion battery is fully

charged.

TIMER DISPLAY

The timer display appears for approxi-

mately 30 seconds when the power switch

is placed in the OFF position.

Charging time

Full charge has priority

If “Full charge has priority” is turned on, the

charge start timer will be advanced if the

fully charged condition of the Li-ion battery

cannot be achieved during the start time

to end time interval. If the fully charged

battery condition cannot be achieved, the

charge continues until the battery is fully

charged.

The estimated time of charging the Li-ion

battery (start time and end time) is dis-

played.

• When the charging timer is set, the charg-

ing system calculates the estimated time

to charge the Li-ion battery based on the

electrical power supplied in the last

charging using the timer, and the start

time and end time are displayed.

CH-46 Charging

• The estimated time may be recalculated

depending on the actual electrical power

after the charge cable is connected. Al-

though the estimated time may be differ-

ent from the time that was displayed

when the power switch was placed in the

OFF position, this is not a malfunction.

The current mode of the charge connector

lock (AUTO, LOCK or UNLOCK) is displayed.

For the charge connector lock operation,

see “Charge connector lock system” in the

“Charging” section of this manual.

In addition to the above, note the following

diately after connecting the charge con-

nector to the vehicle, the start time is

displayed as “Charge Now”.

the OFF position at home. If the power

switch is placed in the OFF position other

than at home, the immediate charge

mode is selected and “Charge Now” will

appear as the start time.

NOTE:

• The displayed end time of charging is

an estimation. The Li-ion battery may

not be charged to a full level by the

estimated end time.

• If the charging timer and the Climate

Ctrl. timer are set to operate at the

same time, longer charging time will be

displayed or the Li-ion battery may not

be charged to a full level at the sched-

uled end time.

• When “Full charge has priority” is set to ON

in the EV Settings and the Li-ion battery

cannot be charged to a full level within

the hours between the scheduled start

time and end time of the charging timer,

the charging time shows the time that

exceeds the scheduled hours in the
