My EV is 8 this year. I've not noticed a drop in range over that time, but I'll find out when it goes in for its last battery health check before the warranty expires.
Second the Yuasa recommendation. Best battery I’ve had. Bought last one on Amazon. I like that the acid hasn’t been added yet so you know it’s fresh.
I fully trust Yuasa. They're just excellent quality.
Left one uncharged for a whole winter fired right up.
My 12v battery died last winter and I decided to replace it with a Yuasa Silver battery after hearing people having problems with their 12v battery. It has a 5 year guarantee which gives a bit of peace of mind.
Yuasa are always good, but I've been a big fan of "Big Crank" / [Batterymart.com](http://Batterymart.com) batteries on most of my bikes.
Yuasa is absolutely the way to go
San Antonio Leaf driver here, a Leaf is fine in Texas as long as you don't want to do road trips (battery heating gets to be an issue around 250 miles on a 40kWh on the interstate). This sub is overwhelmingly negative on the Leaf, despite it being a good local commuter.
I'm in central Texas and the Leaf does just fine for in city driving. The batteries run hotter than a liquid cooled battery does of course but they are capable of operating at Texas summer temperatures. Where they struggle is on long highway trips. High speeds mean more load on the battery which also means more heat and more likely to have the car limit power due to battery temps. I have noticed that Leafs in Texas do tend to show more battery degradation and less capacity than leafs that are in cooler climate.
I got a battery from Nissan under warranty. It has a 7 year 84K warranty if I recall. That battery less than 6 months later gave a fault and they replaced it again. '22 SV
the oem nissan battery had been replaced about a year prior, and it died in my driveway. the oem nissan batteries are crap.
