Cor said:Hi Kris,Kris1 said:Also interested to hear your thoughts on swapping the new double thickness ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/qt88me809t3w5w2/1.25kwh.jpg?dl=0) modules into a G1 battery case.
Aha! so that is how the new 30kWh modules look like!
They appear to be a drop-in replacement for a pair of 24kWh modules, so I see no issues -
The chemistries are the same, just a difference in capacity.RNM said:Mechanically, there will be no special issues.Cor said:Hi Kris,

The problem will be the VERY different discharge curves between the 24 and 30 kWh chemistries.
Hi Bern,Bern101 said:My battery don't have the cold weather package.
I can have a 2015 battery from a scap yard
This battery have the cold weather package (and I need it)
Can I install it in my 2011 Nissan Leaf ?
drees said:You need more than just the adapter, Nissan also accounts for whether or not the '11 has the cold weather package and builds replacement packs accordingly. On top of that, you need a special programming card and expensive Nissan Consult diagnosis software to program the battery pack to the car.
This is really the Achilles heel of used LEAFs with worn out batteries. If you could easily retrofit a nearly new pack from a wrecked LEAF at half the cost of Nissan's current retail cost to replace the pack ($5500-6500), the resale value of the LEAF would be a better.
You simply can not justify spending $6k to replace the battery in an old LEAF when you can buy a much newer one with a better pack for $8-9k.
Bern101 said:explain to me how to make the switch, but it is a big job (switching cells instead of swiching battery pack) and I was looking for an easier way to do that.
Kris1 said:That's grim news. The extra capacity is no good if you can't access it. Looks like a lot of the 30kwh cell capacity could exist below the turtle mode threshold voltage of a 2012 BMS?

You CAN access it.
But the car will show LBW (with all the xmas tree flashing...) while driving with the 2nd half battery...
And that's what LEAF Spy is for. No worries.RNM said:Kris1 said:That's grim news. The extra capacity is no good if you can't access it. Looks like a lot of the 30kwh cell capacity could exist below the turtle mode threshold voltage of a 2012 BMS?
