CHARGING AFTER DRIVING
Charging the Li-ion battery
When you return home, connect the vehicle to
the charging station installed at your home using
the normal charge connector.
Charge the vehicle or set the charging timer
function to have the vehicle charge at a specific
time. For additional information, refer to “Charg-
ing timer” in the “Charging” section of this
manual.
1. When the power switch is turned off, thesettings of the charging timer, and the Climate
Ctrl. Timer and the charge connector lock functions are displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display. For additional information, re-
fer to “Vehicle information display” in the “In-
struments and controls” section of this
manual.
2. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, refer to “Charge
port lid” in the “Pre-driving checks and adjust-
ments” section of this manual.
3. Connect the charge connector to the vehicle.
4. When a charging timer is turned on, charging starts at the set time. When a charging timer
is not turned on, charging starts immediately.
NOTE:
•Charging can be started remotely, even if
the charging timer is set up.
• When you have forgotten to connect the
charge connector at home, there is a func-
tion that can notify you via a text message
capable cellular phone, internet enabled
smart phone or personal computer. For
additional information, refer to “Charging
related remote function” in the “Charg-
ing” section (models with navigation sys-
tem) of this manual.
• NISSAN recommends that you connect
the normal charge cable when getting out
of the vehicle, even if it is not going to be
used. By doing this, you can get the most
out of the remote climate control (models
with navigation system) and Climate Ctrl.
Timer functions the next time you use the
vehicle.

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.
• Make sure there is no water or foreign materials in the charge port, charge
connector or electrical plug, and that
they are not damaged or affected by
rust or corrosion. If any of these condi-
tions are noticeable, do not charge the
Li-ion battery. This may result in a
short circuit or electric shock and
could cause a fire which may result in
serious personal injury or death.
• To avoid serious personal injury or death when the Li-ion battery is charg-
ing, be aware of the following precau-
tions.
– Do not touch the metal contacts ofthe charge port, charge connector or
electrical plug. – Do not touch the vehicle and charger
when there is lightning. A lightning
strike may back feed into the char-
ger causing damage and possible
personal injury or death.
• Make sure the charge connector is re- moved from the charge port before
starting your vehicle. If the charge con-
nector is only partially engaged and
the connector latch is unlocked, it is
possible to place the EV (Electric Ve-
hicle) in the READY to drive position.
• Do not plug in or unplug the plug with wet hands and do not stand in water,
liquid or snow. This may cause an elec-
tric shock which may result in serious
personal injury or death.
• Do not disassemble or modify the charge port or the EVSE (Electric Ve-
hicle Supply Equipment) . This may
cause a fire.
• If you notice an unusual odor or smoke coming from the vehicle, stop charging
immediately. • Be careful not to allow your hands,
hair, jewelry or clothing to come into
contact with, or get caught in, the trac-
tion motor cooling fan. The cooling fan
can start at any time during charging.
CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the charging
equipment:
– Do not close the charge port lid
without closing the cap.
– Do not subject the charging equip- ment to impact.
– Do not pull or twist the charge cable.
– Do not drag the charge cable.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHARGING
CH-2Charging

•If the vehicle will not be used for an ex-
tended period of time, charge the Li-ion
battery using the long life mode once ev-
ery three months. Do not operate the
charging timer repeatedly while the
charge connector is connected to the ve-
hicle after the Li-ion battery charging is
completed. Doing so may discharge the
12-volt battery. For additional informa-
tion, refer to the long life mode charging
method, in the “Charging timer” section of
this manual. If the Li-ion battery becomes
discharged, charge it immediately.
• The power switch can be set to the ON
position and the climate control and navi-
gation system (models with navigation
system) can be used while the Li-ion bat-
tery is charging. However, because these
operations consume Li-ion battery power,
it will take longer for the Li-ion battery to
become fully charged. Place the power
switch in the OFF position to help reduce
Li-ion battery charge time.
• If electrical power is interrupted while
charging, charging restarts automatically
when the electrical power is restored. •
It is recommended to keep the charge
cable connected to save Li-ion battery
power, when the heater and air condi-
tioner are operating with remote opera-
tion (models with navigation system) .
• If the charge port is frozen, melt the ice
using a hair dryer. After the ice has
melted, charge the Li-ion battery. Forcing
the charge connector to connect may
cause a malfunction.
• If foreign materials have entered the
charge connector and charge port and it is
not possible to connect it, do not attempt
to force the connection. Contact a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer. Forcing the charge
connector to connect may cause damage
to the charging equipment and vehicle.
• There is a hole on the charge port for
water drainage. If the water drainage hole
becomes blocked, or if water gets trapped
inside the charge port, do not charge.
Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
CH-4Charging

To stop normal charge:
1. Ensure that the charge connector lock is notengaged. For additional information, refer to
“Charge connector lock switch” in this
section.
2. Press the button on the charge connector, release the lock and remove the charge con-
nector from the charge port and properly
store it.
3. After closing the charge port cap on the charge port, close the charge port lid.
NOTE:
To stop charging mid-charge, remove the charge
connector. Charging automatically stops.
HOW TO TRICKLE 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.
• In order to avoid an electric shock or fire due to a short circuit, connect to a
GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit
breaker and use a waterproof electri-
cal ground socket.
• The NISSAN Genuine EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) charging
device provided with your vehicle
draws 12 amps continuously while
charging the Li-ion battery. Do not plug
in to any electrical circuit unless it is
inspected by a licensed electrician to
confirm that the electrical circuit can
accept a 12 amp draw. Any electrical
circuit has a much higher likelihood of
being compromised in the following
conditions listed below. – Improper use of the charger may
result in a fire and serious injury or
death.
– Do not use this charger in structures more than 40 years old.
– Do not use this charger in structures using fuse-based circuit protection.
Use only with electrical circuits pro-
tected by circuit breakers.
– Do not use this charger on electrical circuits with two-prong outlets.
– Do not use charger if outlet appears damaged or will not hold plug firmly.
– Discontinue charger use immedi- ately if plug or outlet becomes hot
to the touch or if you notice any
unusual odors.
– Do not use charger if other devices are plugged into the same circuit.
– Never use extension cords or plug adapters with charger.
– Do not operate with a damaged cord.
– Always unplug the charger when not in use.
– When unplugging, be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
