    Does anyone know , at what point does the leaf enable charging of a battery showing 100%

    Ie if I have a fully charged car and the car is plugged in on the timer , will the car start attempting to charge an already full battery.

    I could test this , but someone may know

    Is there a particular battery level where charging is re-enabled?

    From experience - as soon as you unplug and drive around even in the estate or had your heater on

    so whats that 95% or something ,m I was interested to see if , I left mine plugged in for a few days and each night the timer would expire and the car would start its nightly charge, which wouldn't be a good thing if it was already full

    Nissan advise not to charge the car until the charge reaches below 80%.

    Leaving the battery sit a lot above 80% is also in the manual and it's not advisable and may effect the warranty as well as not leaving it sitting too low a charge.

    A lot of your charging/discharging and fast charging habits are reflected in the yearly battery report.
    All this matters if you go to make a claim in the warranty period.
