Here is an old 2011 charging sequence. https://www.dropbox.com/s/oa6qgh2urtcgf69/6hrCharge.zip?dl=0

Do you have the dimensions or a link to them? Are they CAN bus controlled and water-cooled?

The 3.3kW BRUSA NLG513-U1-01A-A01 Battery Charger costs $3591USD plus the extras and the 6.5kW single phase BRUSA NLG664 22kW Battery Charger costs $6239USD. My understanding is the Brusa chargers work as secondary to the OBC and will not work with the Leaf CAN bus without the OBC. I did not...

Hi Mux, The Renesas R5F71424FP mcu is locked down against serial extraction. Using a parallel programmer, about $1900USD plus shipping, I could get the binary extracted. Kind of defeats the idea of a low cost replacement charger... I did find two Chinese companies that will change the CAN bus...

Would a can capture from a 2011 Leaf be helpful? I would very much like to see the Leaf OBC can bus exposed so it can be used on an aftermarket charger for Leafs outside their warranty period. I'm working on getting the complete 2011 OBC CAN protocol...

Any info regarding where you purchased the connectors would help. And and info about the can bus protocol/commands would be great.

Hi Mux, Can multiple can bus bridges be time synchronized? The idea being you could monitor the OBC, LBC and VCM at the same time and record them all to determine what is needed for an aftermarket OBC. I'm trying to get the can bus command protocol from the Renesas R5F71424FP microcontroller...

Are you still under a NDA regarding the Leaf? If not, are you able to share privately any of the information? My interest is to get an aftermarket water-cooled replacement intalled under the hood and remove the OBC in the hump. So the can bus command set for the 3.3kW charger would allow...

(Click picture for high-res shot) -Phil I have a non-working charger as well and did some tracing of lines. The EV can bus and QC can bus run from the top connector to the lower right two chips ZJY5101, then down to two can bus transceiver chips TJA1050, then over to the 100-pin 14x14mm LQFP...

Hi Phil, Bumping another old thread. How did you get 30kW continuous power to the inverter? The existing wires do not have enough Ampacity. Did you run additional wire to the inverter or DC-DC j-box? My alternative to an open source replacement charger (under the hood) would be to add a 20kW...

Maybe this little rotary engine will work as a good range extender: http://revolution-green.com/liquidpiston-enters-uav-arena-revolutionary-rotary-engine/ It looks to be much lighter weight and better fuel economy than most engines.

Bumping an old thread. Did you release your plans for the 6.7kW upgrade kit to open source after you sold your Leaf? I would like to develop an open source under-hood replacement for the 2011 Leaf onboard charger using your 6.7kW kit plans as a starting point. The goal being to avoid a Nissan...

That is an excellent summary! The ability to second source expensive parts leads to lower cost options. I would like to replace the 3.3kW OBC with a 5 or 6kW unit. Maybe something larger if I can add cables to increase ampacity to and from the charger.

I am very interested in pursuing this and will share all info I find.

That is an interesting way to get it done and it is a reasonable backup plan. I have the ability to swap the OBC safely if I bought a spare, but they are still very expensive from Nissan, especially for a 2011 car. Would a replacement OBC work out of the box? I've read that changing the BCM...

My 2011 Leaf onboard charger (OBC) died last month. I am looking for an open source replacement for the OBC but one of the sticking points is getting it to work with the Leaf. Did you get enough info with your testing...

Hi celeron55, Thank you for reporting the results of your work!! I recently started searching the forums again and found your work on reverse-engineering the Leaf. I have been very happy with my 2011 Leaf until last month when I had to replace the 3.3kW onboard charger (OBC). Now I want to...

If it is small enough, $1000-1500. If you can make it a 2 way unit, charge the car or power the house, $2500. I got my Leaf a few days ago and it would be great to have something like this.
