HOW TO TRICKLE CHARGE
(AC 110–120 VOLT) BY L1 EVSE
WARNING
• If you wear a pacemaker or an im- plantable cardiovascular defibrilla-
tor (ICD), stay at least 6 in (15 cm)
away from the EVSE.
• If you wear a pacemaker or an im- plantable cardiovascular defibrilla-
tor (ICD), check with the electric
medical device manufacturer con-
cerning the effects that charging
may have on implanted devices be-
fore 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) cir-
cuit breaker and use a waterproof
electrical ground socket.

WARNING
• Always use a quick charger that is compatible with the LEAF. Using an
incompatible quick charger may
cause a fire or malfunction resulting
in serious personal injury or death.
• Before starting the quick charge, carefully read the instructions pro-
vided on the quick charger and
make sure the quick charge connec-
tor is properly connected and
locked. Failure to connect or operate
the quick charger correctly could
cause damage to the vehicle or the
charging equipment.
NOTE:
•Quick charging is possible (even several
times a day) if the battery temperature
is not near the red zone. If the battery
temperature reaches the red zone, in
order to protect the battery, quick
charging is not allowed and the power
limitation mode will be triggered. For
additional information, refer to “Li-ion
battery temperature gauge” in the “EV
Overview” and “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual. •
When the Li-ion battery available
charge and the Li-ion battery capacity
are shown on the quick charger unit, the
readings may differ from the Li-ion bat-
tery available charge/capacity reading
shown on the vehicle’s display.
To start charging:
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 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.

WARNING
• Always use a quick charger/V2X de- vice that is compatible with the LEAF.
Using an incompatible quick
charger/V2X device may cause a fire
or malfunction resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
• Before starting the quick charge/ V2X charge, carefully read the in-
structions provided on the quick
charger/V2X device and make sure
the quick charge connector is prop-
erly connected and locked. Failure to
connect or operate the quick char-
ger correctly could cause damage to
the vehicle or the charging equip-
ment.
NOTE:
•Charging/discharging using quick
charge port is possible (even several
times a day) if the battery temperature
is not near the red zone. If the battery
temperature reaches the red zone, in
order to protect the battery, charging/
discharging is not allowed and the
power limitation mode will be triggered.
For additional information, refer to “Li-
ion battery temperature gauge” in the
“EV Overview” and “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.
• When the Li-ion battery available
charge/discharge and the Li-ion bat-
tery capacity are shown on the quick
charger unit or V2X device, the readings
may differ from the Li-ion battery avail-
able charge/discharge/capacity read-
ing shown on the vehicle’s display. To start charging/discharging:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to place
the vehicle in the P (Park) position and
apply the parking brake.
2. When charging/discharging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the
OFF position. When the power switch is
in the ON position, the Li-ion battery will
not start charging/discharging.
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.

start charging.
• Charging stations that are used to per-
form normal charging may be equipped
with timer functions. If the charging
timer function and the vehicle timer are
both set, and the two timers are not set
to operate at the same time, it is pos-
sible that the charger will not start or
the battery will not be charged to the
level expected.
• The Li-ion battery may not charge to
the expected level using the charging
timer while the Li-ion battery warmer (if
so equipped) operates.
• Charging timer is performed according

NOTE:
If “Full charge has priority ” is turned
on, it is possible that the battery is not
charged fully by the charge end time
due to the operating condition of Cli-
mate Ctrl. Timer and the tolerance of
charging time, etc. In that case, the
charging continues until the Li-ion
battery is fully charged.
TIMER DISPLAY
The timer display appears for approxi-
mately 30 seconds when the power switch
is placed in the OFF position.
1Charging time
The estimated time of charging the Li-ion
battery (start time and end time) is dis-
played.
• When the charging timer is set, the charg- ing system calculates the estimated time
to charge the Li-ion battery based on the
electrical power supplied in the last
charging using the timer, and the start
time and end time are displayed.
• The estimated time may be recalculated depending on the actual electrical power
af ter the charge cable is connected. Al-
though the estimated time may be differ- ent from the time that was displayed
when the power switch was placed in the
OFF position, this is not a malfunction.
•
When the charging timer is set to OFF, the
estimated end time to charge the Li-ion
battery to a full level in the case of perform-
ing the immediate charge. The end time is
calculated based on the electrical power
selected in the “Charge Time Screen”.
• When the Li-ion battery was fully charged, the charging time will be displayed as
“--:--”.
2Charging timer setting status
When the charging timer is set, the start
time and end time of the charging using
the timer are displayed
