Nissan ARIYA 2023 Owners Manual

3.7.3. Li-ion battery life

The Li-ion battery's ability to hold a charge, like all batteries, decreases with battery age and usage which results in decreased driving range when compared to the driving range when the vehicle was new. This is normal and expected, and does not indicate a malfunction of the vehicle or Li-ion battery.

The Li-ion battery's ability to hold a charge can be affected by how you drive the vehicle, store the vehicle, how you charge the Li-ion battery and Li-ion battery temperature during vehicle operation and charging.

To maximise the battery's useful life, use the following driving and charging habits where possible.

  • Avoid exposing a vehicle to extreme ambient temperatures for extended periods.

  • Avoid storing a vehicle in temperatures below −25°C (−13°F) for over 7 days.

  • Avoid leaving your vehicle for over 14 days where the Li-ion battery available charge gauge reaches a zero or near zero (state of charge).

  • Allow the vehicle and Li-ion battery to cool down after use before charging.

  • Park/store your vehicle in cool locations out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

  • Avoid sustained high battery temperatures (caused, for example, by exposure to very high ambient temperatures or extending highway driving with multiple quick charges).

  • Use the normal charging method to charge the Li-ion battery and minimise the use of Quick Charger.

  • Drive moderately.

  • Use the [ECO] mode.

  • Do not operate the charging timer repeatedly while the charge connector is connected to the vehicle after the Li-ion battery charging is completed. Doing so may discharge the 12-volt battery.

  • If the vehicle will not be used for an extended period of time, charge the Li-ion battery once every 3 months.

  • The power of the Li-ion battery can be checked on the Li-ion battery available charge gauge. See
