    53kw CATL Upgrade on 2013 Leaf S

    Just an update. My pack deviation at full charge is holding at 9mV. Range prediction at 200 miles appears to be fairly accurate as well. We did develop an issue early on where the vehicle would not charge without cycling the Can Bridge power for a few seconds. That issue now seams to be...

    53kw CATL Upgrade on 2013 Leaf S

    I was able to drive the leaf down to 41% remaining in the pack. HV battery is showing 351.5V. Drove 92.4 miles mostly suburban roads with some highway. 3.3 average miles/kWh. With this data, I think I can safely get 140 miles of range with real world driving. Very happy with this new Can...

    Nice to see you here Paul. Paul represents the company I got this kit from. Definitely one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. I don't think he sleeps. :LOL:

    Definitely a good idea.

    53kw CATL Upgrade on 2013 Leaf S

    The new Can Bridge arrived on Sunday, and I wired it in yesterday afternoon. For the moment, I have it taped to the plastic trim to the left of the manual e-brake. I need to 3D print a case for it (it is about 4X larger than traditional Can Bridge). Upon installation, I had to use leafspy to...

    53kw CATL Upgrade on 2013 Leaf S

    We have been using about 30% of the battery each day, and charging nightly to 80%.

    53kw CATL Upgrade on 2013 Leaf S

    The car is still running great as long as we don't go under 30-40% SOC...my wife drives it daily to work. We are sitting at 30mV deviation on the pack. There was a hiccup with the new can bridge which is why I haven't posted. They shipped it by the slowest possible method to save money, and...

    53kw CATL Upgrade on 2013 Leaf S

    And certainly as the cells age, their internal resistance will increase, some more than others, thereby makes the BMS's job more difficult. Reminds me of the early days of creating solar storage systems with B grade cells and having to use an extra active balancer to help out the BMS. I have one...

    53kw CATL Upgrade on 2013 Leaf S

    I can’t speak for Mux, but in my situation, I have the slow 3.6 charger without fast charge. So I don’t foresee this ever being a problem for me. That being said, I was cognizant that the BMS would have to work longer to maintain balance due to higher capacity cells. So far a month in, and they...

    53kw CATL Upgrade on 2013 Leaf S

    So far, everything is fine physically. The only issue I have is related to the range meter not learning true capacity. For example, the meter will go down 40 miles when I only drove 10, and this is after full charge. Then with about 30-40% of battery remaining, the range meter will not change...

    Are my front motor mounts bad?

    This is not so much a rattle, but more of a clunk when going over sudden bumps like pot holes, curbs, etc... at speeds lower than 35-40mph. I tightened subframe bolts, replaced entire suspension except swaybar bushings. However, when I replaced the swaybar links, I found no play in swaybar...

    Are my front motor mounts bad?

    I have 65k miles and it seems this car was in coastal southern California for all its life which is also where I am. So nothing too extreme as far as temps are concerned. I have no idea if this is common or not.

    Are my front motor mounts bad?

    Bad news, Nissan Wholesale Direct says there are no stock nationwide and no ETA on availability for front motor mounts.

    Are my front motor mounts bad?

    Thanks for making that video! Yes, the movement appears to be very similar. Maybe the only difference is with mine I think I hear a more distinct tapping noise. I did order new front mounts to see if that solves the problem...maybe I can return them if they are not the issue (but I doubt it)...

    Are my front motor mounts bad?

    Yes, even the strut mounts.

    Are my front motor mounts bad?

    That’s what I think too. I hate to continue throwing the parts cannon at it without knowing for sure.

    Are my front motor mounts bad?

    Wanted to get some opinions on whether others think my motor mounts are bad in reference to the attached video. I thought I had the problem solved by replacing all front suspension components, but I guess not as I still hear clunks going over bumps at speeds slower than 40mph. In the short...
