Where do I need to connect an extra battery? After the current sensor (it is installed in the middle) or do you need to transfer the current sensor? What problems will there be if I leave the current sensor in the middle and connect an additional battery at the battery output? Thanks

Citation please.
Thank you for your answer, I agree that, if there is common sense, this work can be safe. I want to connect them in front of power relays that connect the battery in ready mode. In the photo, I highlighted the contacts on which there is always voltage, these contacts are connected directly to the + and - of the battery . I decided to transfer the current sensor to one of these wires, and connect an additional battery in front of the current sensor, so I get the correct capacitance measurements from both batteries. To ensure correct mileage, I will update the module LBC/VCM software from Leaf 30 kwth firmwarenlspace wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 7:26 pmIrling wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 5:17 pmDear engineers, please help solve the problem.

Which side of the main contactors have you circled? If that is the output, then you have bypassed the precharge resistor (white rectangular item in the middle) which limits the inrush current into the capacitors inside the motor inverter and the dc/dc converter during START. Plus you would have the system always energized and no way to disconnect the HV to turn the car OFF.
You need an additional set of contactors to provide ON/OFF/START control and isolation for the extra pack.
What is your plan for charging the extra pack?
Do you have a picture of the current sensor?
You are in a specialized forum, and the people who read it carry out any actions at your own risk. I understand your concerns, but you do not need to create a problem out of it, otherwise any technical forum will be uselessEVDRIVER wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 7:58 pmNo one with limited experience should be touching an HV pack and I would warn anyone giving advice that they could be open for liability. More than one person has been killed working on a LEAF pack. It’s really crazy hearing people doing this that have no idea what they are doing. Is suppose if you live outside the US that makes it easier but some if the comments and advice here are really irresponsible at this stage.
Thank you for letting me know where I am, I just started posting here last week. Best of luck and buy some gloves and plasti dip.Irling wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 8:42 pmYou are in a specialized forum, and the people who read it carry out any actions at your own risk.
