2019 NISSAN LEAF Owner´s Manual

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, refer to “Charging methods” in this
section.
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, refer to “Charge port lid” in
the “Pre-driving checks and adjust-
ments” section of this manual.
4. Take out the EVSE from the rear hatch. 5. Connect the electrical plug to the AC 110
- 120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical outlet.
If it is connected normally, the green light
on the EVSE control box indicator light
illuminates.
NOTE:
You can pass a rope through the
holes
Ain the control box in order
to hang it up while the Li-ion battery
is charging. Use the EVSE with the
plug in an upright position (the cord
should extend down from the out-
let).
6. Open the charge port cap. For additional
information, refer to “Charge port cap” in
the “Pre-driving checks and adjust-
ments” section of this manual.

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, refer
to “Charging status indicator lights” in
this section.
10. When recharging outside, such as inyour driveway, use a commercially
available padlock attached in position
Ato prevent thef t.

To stop trickle charge:
1. Ensure that the charge connector lock isnot engaged. For additional information,
refer to “Charge connector lock system”
in this section.
2. Press the button on the charge connec- tor, release the lock and remove the
charge connector from the charge port.
3. Close the charge port cap.
4. Attach the safety cap to the EVSE.
5. Remove the electrical plug from the AC 110 - 120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical
outlet. 6. Store in its case.NOTE:
Perform the following procedure to
store the EVSE in the case:
a.
Wind the charge cable into a size that
will allow it to be stored in the case (ap-
proximately 14 in (36 cm) in diameter).
b. Place the EVSE into the case.
CH-16Charging

c. Pass the lower side belt from the casethrough the fastener on the bottom of
the luggage board.
d. Hang the hook from the case to the ring from the trim.
e. Fix the belt with the hook-and-loop fastener on the side of the case by
pulling the end of the belt.
WARNING
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.
7. Af ter closing the cap on the charge port, close the charge port lid.
NOTE:
To stop charging mid-charge, remove
the charge connector. Charging auto-
matically stops.
HOW TO TRICKLE CHARGE
(AC 110–120 VOLT) BY L1 & L2 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 use any medical electric de- vices, such as an implantable car-
diac pacemaker or an Implantable
Cardiovascular Defibrillator (ICD),
check with the electric medical de-
vice manufacturer concerning 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) cir-
cuit breaker and use a waterproof
electrical ground socket.
• Discontinue EVSE use immediately if plug or outlet becomes hot to the
touch or if you notice any unusual
odors.
• Never use extension cords.
ChargingCH-17

• Never use plug adapters other thanthe Genuine NISSAN Adapter for
EVSE.
• Always unplug the EVSE when not in use.
• The NISSAN Genuine L1 & L2 EVSE draws 12 amps continuously while
charging the Li-ion battery with AC
110–120 volt outlet. Do not plug in to
any electrical circuit unless it is in-
spected by a qualified 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 follow-
ing conditions listed below.
– Improper use of the EVSE may re-sult in a fire and serious injury or
death.
– Do not use the EVSE in structures more than 40 years old.
– Do not use the EVSE in structures using fuse-based circuit protec-
tion. Use only with electrical cir-
cuits protected by circuit break-
ers.
– Do not use the EVSE on electrical circuits with two-prong outlets. – Do not use the EVSE if other de-
vices are plugged into the same
circuit.
– When unplugging, be sure to pull by the plug or the Genuine NISSAN
Adapter, not the cord.
– Do not pull, twist, bend, step on or drag the cable.
– Do not attach or detach the Genu- ine NISSAN Adapter while the
Genuine NISSAN Adapter is in-
serted into an outlet.
– Do not use the Genuine NISSAN Adapter if the plug is not fully in-
serted and not locked.
– If you use the EVSE holder, handle it with care to avoid injuries due to
contact with its edges or other
parts.
– Do not use the EVSE or Genuine NISSAN Adapter if the cable or
cord is frayed, has broken insula-
tion, or shows any other indica-
tions of damage.
– Stop using the EVSE or Genuine NISSAN Adapter immediately if
charging stops before completion
when you move the Genuine
NISSAN Adapter, the plug or the
cord. – Do not use the EVSE or Genuine
NISSAN Adapter if the control box,
plug, Genuine NISSAN Adapter or
charge connector is broken,
cracked, open, corroded or shows
any other indications of damage.
– Do not use the EVSE or Genuine NISSAN Adapter if the plug or
Genuine NISSAN Adapter has a
loose connection with the outlet
or if the outlet is damaged or
rusted.
– Before connecting 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 device has parts that may spark inside. Do not use it where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liq-
uids are used or stored.
CH-18Charging

– Do not use if a malfunction occursor if the EVSE or Genuine NISSAN
Adapter has been damaged in any
manner. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for replacement.
– The EVSE or Genuine NISSAN Adapter contains no user service-
able parts. Do not attempt to re-
pair the EVSE or Genuine NISSAN
Adapter, 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 110 - 120 volt, 15A 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 cor-
rectly and may damage the vehicle.
Precautions on storage
• Do not store the EVSE and Genuine NISSAN Adapter in a place exposed to di-
rect 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.
ChargingCH-19

• Do not store the EVSE with the cableand/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
