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.
