About Leaf Spy
Before you purchase "Leaf Spy" or the more advanced "Leaf Spy Pro" please be sure to first install the Free version "Leaf Spy Lite" to confirm you have a phone (or android device) and ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapter that works with your Leaf.
Once you have the Lite version running and telling you about your battery you can then purchase either the full version "Leaf Spy" or the more advanced version "Leaf Spy Pro".
The Leaf Spy application allows anyone with a Nissan Leaf electric vehicle, Android device with Bluetooth and an ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapter the ability to monitor their battery and other vehicle information normally visible only to the dealer.
Due to a recent cost reduction (and feature reduction) many of the cheap ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapters from Asia no longer work with the Leaf and report themselves to be version 2.1. The only one currently recommended is the Bluetooth Konnwei KW902 which still supports all the needed ELM commands to communicate with the Leaf.

Information displayed by Leaf Spy Lite & Leaf Spy:
* Voltage of each of the 96 cell pairs (highlighted if shunt active)
* Minimum, average, maximum cell pair voltages
* Histogram of cell pair voltages
* Battery Temperature readings (4 sensors for 2011/12 models, 3 for 2013 models)
* Battery AHr rating (this will decease with age and is an indication of remaining capacity)
* VIN
* Odometer
* Number of Quick Charge connections
* Number of L1/L2 Charge connections
* EVSE Max available amps
* EVSE voltage
Additional information displayed by Leaf Spy:
* Battery energy level in GIDs & kWh
* Resetable energy usage meter (Wh resolution)
* Graphic display of SOC, GIDs and DTE (Distance to Empty)
* Remaining distance meter (miles/km) to Event (Low Battery Warning, Very Low Battery Warning or Reserve) based on user selectable energy efficiency
* Graphic display of battery temperature with min, avg, max temperatures
* Tire Pressure of each of the four tires with low pressure warning and delta pressure warning alarm
* Ambient Temperature
* Logging function that records most data and optionally GPS location to a csv file that can be easily imported into excel.
You may want to purchase the "Pro" version which adds the ability to perform functions normally requiring a visit to the dealer.
* Change automatic door lock/unlock settings
* Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
* Register Tire Positions (required after tire rotation or seasonal tire changes so your Leaf knows the correct location of each tire on the car)
* Future ability to reset selected DTCs

Is it possible to update this version to support the 30kWh Leaf?

Great app for checking battery apps. But why has this not been updated to show tyres pressures for UK cars (Pro version has been updated but not this version)

I love this app, it really gave me a good idea about the state of health of my Leafs battery. The only problem I have is when you switch the temperature to centigrade, it also sets the distance units to kilometers. Please allow us to change temperature and distance units independently and the app will be perfect. Otherwise I'm very happy with it, definitely worth the money.

Great for checking battery health, real time status of tire pressure, battery temperature. I use it almost daily with my 2012 since the dash doesn't show SOC%. The logging is usefully also for analyzing trips and trends. Apparently I never drive more than 22 miles one way and my battery is losing about 6% SOH per year.

It would not synch even though the lite version worked fine. I got a refund.

The app works very well and is great those interested in SOC etc. rather than the small amount of information supplied by the Leaf dash. UI is good, but not terribly sexy. The app does not exit automatically, and so a notification icon is left behind when switching to another app.

Love all the battery stats that the app pulls from the CAN bus! I particularly like getting battery temperature readings, cell voltages and the differences between the cells. Great app. LEAF Spy was the first app I deemed worthy of purchasing. All my other apps were free. That says something about LEAF Spy I think! :)

If you want to push your Leaf to the limit, this app is a must have and a very cheap solution to the problem of accurate battery data. With the added bonus of logging you can see your whole driving history and understand which parts of a journey are the most "expensive" in terms of power. Note to UK users: tire (or tyre) pressure isn't supported on UK models, nor is automatic door locking, so this version is probably the one you want; the Pro version would only be if you need to reset DTCs and I haven't seen the need yet myself.

Using it with a Galaxy Nexus phone and ELM327 scanner from BAFX. To get it to work I had to switch settings in the app to look for the device on Port 16 rather than the default Port 1.

So much valuable information gained from this app. The biggest of which for me is knowing how many KWH my battery pack actually has available and being able to monitor my battery state of health.
