NOTE:
•When charging the Li-ion battery, place
the power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON po-
sition, the Li-ion battery will not start
charging.
• For your safety, if the charge connector
is connected to the vehicle while the
power switch is in the READY to drive,
the vehicle will automatically switch to
the ON position. Because charging will
not be started while the power switch is
in this position, be sure to place the
power switch in the OFF position.
• When the ambient temperature is 32°F
(0°C) or less, charging time may be lon-
ger than normal and the level to which
the Li-ion battery can be charged may
be less than at higher temperatures.
• Do not operate the charging timer re-
peatedly while the charge connector is
connected to the vehicle af ter the Li-ion
battery charging is completed. Doing so
may discharge the 12-volt battery. For
additional information, refer to “Charg-
ing timer” in this section. 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
navigation system (if so equipped) can
be used while the Li-ion battery is
charging. However, because these op-
erations 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 automati-
cally when the electrical power is re-
stored.
• 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. Af ter the ice has
melted, charge the Li-ion battery. Forc-
ing 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. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer. Forcing the
charge connector to connect may
cause damage to the charging equip-
ment 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. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

HOW TO NORMAL CHARGE
(AC 220–240 VOLT) BY CHARGING
DEVICE
WARNING
• If you use any medical electric de- vices, such as an implantable car-
diac pacemaker or an implantable
cardiovascular defibrillator, check
with the electric medical device
manufacturer concerning the ef-
fects that charging may have on im-
planted devices before starting the
charge operation. Charging may af-
fect the operation.
• Be sure to follow the precautions for using the charging device 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
battery 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
installed in your home to charge the Li-ion
battery.
• Immediate charge, charging timer and re- mote charge (models with Navigation
System) can be performed in the normal
charge mode. For additional information,
refer to “Charging methods” in this
section.
• The 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. • NISSAN recommends that you connect
the charging device 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.
To start normal charge:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to place the vehicle in the P (Park) position and
apply the parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON po-
sition, the Li-ion battery will not start
charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, re-
fer to “Charge port lid” and “Charge port
cap” in the “Pre-driving checks and ad-
justments” section of this manual.

•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 ve-
hicle.
• 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.
• When timer charging is set with AUTO
mode, the connector will not lock until
charging is started.
• When the following system(s) are oper-
ated individually or the 12-volt battery
is being charged, the charging connec-
tor lock will not lock:

In addition to the above, note the following
conditions for the charging time
1infor-
mation: • The charging time is displayed by the
10 minutes. If the estimated charging time
is longer than 24 hours, “Over 24h” is
displayed.
• When the charging is set to start immedi- ately af ter connecting the charge con-
nector to the vehicle, the start time is dis-
played as “Charge Now”.
• While being charged, the time when the charging has actually started is displayed
as the start time. The end time is dis-
played according to the estimated charg-
ing time that was calculated based on the
electrical power being supplied.
•
For models with Li-ion battery warmer, the
charging system calculates the electrical
power used by the battery warmer when
the Li-ion battery temperature is low, and
longer charging time will be displayed.
• When “Chg. Timer Only at HOME” is set to ON (models with Navigation System) in
the EV Settings, the start time is displayed
only when the power switch is placed in
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.
• 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 ex-
ceeds the scheduled hours in the charg-
ing timer.
•
If you need to confirm the estimated charg-
ing time depending on the available electri-
cal power (supplied to the charger), see the
Estimated Charge Time display. Refer to
“Meters and gauges” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
NOTE:
• The displayed end time of charging is
an estimation. The Li-ion battery may
not be charged to a full level by the es-
timated end time.
• If the charging timer and the Climate
Ctrl. timer are set to operate at the same
time, longer charging time will be dis-
played or the Li-ion battery may not be
charged to a full level at the scheduled
end time.
