7. Remove the safety cap from the chargeconnector.
8. Connect the charge connector to the charge port. If it is connected normally, a
beep will sound once.
9. If charging has started, or if the Li-ion battery is waiting for the charging timer,
a beep will sound twice and the charg-
ing status indicator light display will
change. For additional information, see
“Charging status indicator lights”
(P. CH-49). 10. When recharging outside, such as in
your driveway, use a commercially

CAUTION
• Only charge using a standard AC 110 -
120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical out-
let (for example, do not use an elec-
tric generator). Failure to do so may
cause charging to fail and could
cause damage to the vehicle or the
EVSE due to power surges. •
NISSAN recommends using Genuine
NISSAN charging equipment to
charge the vehicle. Using non-
NISSAN equipment could cause the
Li-ion battery to not charge correctly
and may damage the vehicle.
Precautions on storage
• Do not store the EVSE and Genuine NISSAN Adapter in a place exposed to
direct sunlight.
• Do not store the EVSE and Genuine NISSAN Adapter in a place exposed to
wind or rain.
• Be sure to store the EVSE with the protec- tive cap on to keep the terminal of the
charge connector away from dirt and
dust.
• Do not store the EVSE with the cable and/or cord wound around the control
box.
• Do not store the EVSE in a condition in which the cable and/or cord are twisted.
• The control box will become hot while the EVSE is charging. This is not a
malfunction.

To start trickle charging:
NOTE:
Charging timer, remote charge (models
with navigation system) and immediate
charge can be performed in the trickle
charge mode. For additional informa-
tion, see “Charging methods” (P. CH-43)
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to placethe 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. For additional information, see “Charge port lid”
(P. 3-20).
4. Take out the EVSE from the rear hatch. 5. Connect the electrical plug to the AC 110
- 120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical outlet
using a Genuine NISSAN Adapter. If it is
connected normally, the green light on
the EVSE control box indicator light
illuminates.

–Do not use the EVSE if the control
box, plug, the EVSE or charge con-
nector is broken, cracked, open,
corroded or shows any other indi-
cations of damage.
– Do not use the EVSE if the plug has
a loose connection with the outlet
or if the outlet is damaged or
rusted.
– Before you connect the EVSE, be
sure to check the rated current
shown on the EVSE to ensure that
the outlet and circuit have enough
current capacity to charge your
vehicle safely. If the capacity of
the outlet and circuit is not
enough, wiring may cause over-
heating or a fire.
– If in any doubt about the outlet
and circuit, consult a qualified
electrician.
– The EVSE has parts that may
spark inside. Do not use it where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liq-
uids are used or stored.
– Do not use if a malfunction occurs
or if the EVSE has been damaged
in any manner. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for replacement. –
The EVSE contains no user ser-
viceable parts. Do not attempt to
repair the EVSE, doing so will void
your warranty.
• Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE
case securely through the fastener
on the bottom of the luggage board.
If the case suddenly becomes loose,
it may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• Only charge using a standard AC 220
- 240 volt, 50A dedicated electrical
outlet (for example, do not use an
electric generator). Failure to do so
may cause charging to fail and could
cause damage to the vehicle or the
EVSE due to power surges.
• NISSAN recommends using Genuine
NISSAN charging equipment to
charge the vehicle. Using non-
NISSAN equipment could cause the
Li-ion battery to not charge correctly
and may damage the vehicle or the
EVSE.
Precautions on storage
• Do not store the EVSE in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not store the EVSE in a place exposed to wind or rain.
• Be sure to store the EVSE with the protec- tive cap on to keep the terminal of the
charge connector away from dirt and
dust.
• Do not store the EVSE with the cable and/or cord wound around the control

6. Follow the instructions on the quick charge equipment. When the equip-
ment is properly installed and ready to
charge a beep sounds twice and the
charging status indicator light will
change. For additional information, see

Charging ends in the following situations:
• When charging is complete
• When the possible charge time set for the quick charger is exceeded
NOTE:
• Charging may automatically stop even if it is not completed.
• If charging stops mid-charge, you can restart charging by pressing the start
button on the quick charger again.
• The charge connector is locked to the charge port during charging and can-
not be disconnected. Follow the in-
structions on the quick charge equip-
ment to stop charging. Confirm
charging is stopped by looking at the
indicators on the instrument panel.
The charge connector can be discon-
nected from the vehicle when charging
is stopped.
• When quick charging, the Li-ion bat- tery charging rate is slower as the per-
centage of available battery charge
increases. To finish charging:
1. Confirm charging is stopped by looking
at the indicators on the instrument
panel. The charge connector can be dis-
connected from the vehicle when charg-
ing is stopped.
2. Unlock the charge connector, remove from the vehicle and properly store it.
