    Leaf 24kwh battery swap out for a kia Niro 64kwh. Possible?

    Well, the mechanical side i can do, thats just brackets, metalwork etc.... the electronics / canbus side has been done previously Example. A canbridge from Daly in finland captures leaf bms data, modifies the data then sends that data to the leaf main ECU (in the event of a battery swap from...

    Can a 3.3kw JDM ZE1 Leaf be Upgraded to take 6.6kw?

    Hi, from what i understand a gen 2 3.3 charger can be replaced with a 6.6 charger with no other things to do, the car automatically recognises it. I have a nissan e-NV200 and as there were ZERO 6.6kw charger units availabke to me at the time (6 years ago) i fitted a brusa NLG513, and itw worked...

    Leaf 24kwh battery swap out for a kia Niro 64kwh. Possible?

    Hi, Wondering if anyone has thought of the idea of installing a 64kwh niro pack into a nissan leaf (or in my case an e-NV200.) Reason, 62kwh not available, and even the 40kwh leaf packs are very expensive here in the UK. A 64kwh niro pack from a 2021 onwards (so not involved in the battery...

    Balancing low cell on 30kWh leaf after it was abandoned for a year

    Hi, that "weak" cell is about 1/3rd the way into the large big bank of cells. In our case it was cell 49, hat was the top cell on the RH side bank. I had the same issue with my brothers 24kwh nissan leaf. We decided to buy a replacement cell, charge it to max, charged the leaf to max, dropped...

    Dealer is trying to price gouge me for a new battery - any recommendations?

    The OP hasnt elaborated on the battery other than the vehicle has lost its 4th bar. The op may not be technically minded, or an enthusaist, so all i say is try having the battery loke dat in detail. It may be the battery as a whole has degraded equally, and the only course of repair is a full...

    Dealer is trying to price gouge me for a new battery - any recommendations?

    Hi Timlee, totally agree with you, but it wont do any harm or cost a great deal to investigate. If they are all roughly the same capacity, then the bms has done its job well and the whole pack is worn equally.

    Dealer is trying to price gouge me for a new battery - any recommendations?

    Im no expert, however, without and diagnostics, apart from the loss of 4 bats and a huge cost to replace the pack, its worth a look at any options. Any battery pack is only as strong as its weakest cell. Also, with the leaf chemistry, the battery charge percentage curve is quite linear, so the...

    Is there a DIY upgrade from stock Nissan 3.3kw to 6.6kw charger (from the uk)

    I will for sure. I have messaged superleaf, just to ask if he has had any issues related to the change and if it's all still working fine. I am hopeful it's a true posting, he hasn't been on here for a while. I have spoken today to an ev specialist and spoke in depth about how this project...

    Dealer is trying to price gouge me for a new battery - any recommendations?

    Hi Jennifer, I'd try to find someone local with a leaf spy to read the battery data. Although you have lost 4 bars, you will probably find that if you had the battery checked, you may only have a few individual cells that are dragging the rest of the pack down to 4 bars. You may then find a...

    Is there a DIY upgrade from stock Nissan 3.3kw to 6.6kw charger (from the uk)

    Hi RNM, I had just found that very same thread only a few hours before you thankfully posted a lin, thanks very much for the info and help. It is very good to know that someone has indeed replaced a stock 3.3 with a stock 6.6 as a plug and play, it is very good info. All i need now is a stock...
