Perhaps I am not understanding your description, but it sounds to me like they just shifted the range so that you get more temperature bars at the same battery pack temperature.

I may have discovered something very interesting with the 2013 BP. A poster on the 'Lost Capacity Bar' thread said that when he hit 8TBs on his 2012, the highest TS was 118F on the LEAF Battery App. But when mine hit 8 TBs yesterday, my highest reading was 101F and the rest were around 99F. When I QCd for 30 min. to 90% a few weeks ago, I was at 7 TBs and it went to 9 with the highest TS at 112F. So I believe that the tweaking Nissan did keeps the BP at a lower temp. I wonder how that may keep it from losing a CB so soon.
