That's great news. Pity you had the troubles with the keys. I wonder if it would be possible to buy the VCM together with the paired keys ?

Me too.

I dont know russian, but from what I've understood, the 24KWh battery works with erasing only some DTC error codes on the 30KWh Leaf, but the 30KWh battery works on 24KWh Leaf only after they changed some module(s) too.

Today, I've found my 12V battery dead again. This is the third time this year. Last time it was about 2-3 months ago. Since then I've been very carefully to watch the voltage reported by LeafSpy every time after stopping the car. But yesterday, before arriving home, I made a short break and I...

2 weeks update: I did with the new charger more than 600km and about 10 charging, with no issues. Some more details and some advices if sombody is trying to do the swap: No reprogramming or other software setting are need. I had LeafSpy in the case I need to delete some errors, but it wasn't...

After I've disconnected the 12V cables on the right side of the charger and removing all the screws, I've removed the charger cover. It is glued, so I have to use some force and patience to be able to remove it. With the cover removed: Some detailed photos of the charger: Disconnected...

The short story: Initial charging estimate screen: Final one:

I just did the swap too. It took me about 7 hours of work. It is more work removing the parts around the charger, than the charger itself.

I will add the pictures to the original thread. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=21106&start=20

I just did the upgrade too. If you are interested I can share some photos. I have a 2013 Leaf and I bought the 6.6KW charger from US. It took me about 7 hours of work. The space is pretty restricted around the charger. It takes time.
