Li-Ion Battery Gradual Capacity Loss Data Clear: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Leaf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Perform Li-ion Battery Gradual Capacity Loss Data Clear when the Li-ion battery pack assembly or Li-ion battery controller is replaced with a new one. VCM saves the Li-ion battery deterioration information sent from the Li-ion battery controller and manages the Li-ion battery replacement timing. When the Li-ion battery pack assembly or Li-ion battery controller is replaced with a new one, there is a difference between the Li-ion battery deterioration data stored in VCM and the actual Li-ion battery deterioration level. In this case, VCM will incorrectly manage the Li-ion battery replacement timing. So perform Li-ion Battery Deterioration Data Clear to clear the Li-ion battery deterioration data stored in VCM.

CAUTION: Never perform Li-ion Battery Deterioration Data Clear when the Li-ion battery pack assembly or Li-ion battery controller is not replaced as new one.
