Yeah, but your new battery would have been the lizard battery too. Get an '11-'13 on an original battery, and it probably degrades unacceptably no matter where it lives. The lizard battery might fair a bit better, but I don't like the idea that my car needs to live in a place that doesn't get hot.

I'm curious what percent of Leafs end up getting new batteries under warranty?

So, what did Kalifornia end up with?
