Someone is bound to give it a shot if they haven't already, definetly worth a new thread.

Great offer Cor, I'm assuming limited to the continental USA though, sigh.

Did I read correctly a few posts back Piro? You have a solution to running 30kwh pack in 2012 model leaf? If so can you provide further details?

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?

Sounds achievable. Can your buyers access the 30kwh packs? If so what sort of $$ for one?

Yeah, a replacement G1 BMS is what ND is after isn't it? 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.

I'm bewildered by the economics of the whole lease/insurance/wreck auction merry-go-round. Are you able to share the approx numbers with us? What is the payoff balance on the lease? What is the approx insurance payout offer? I've seen wrecks go for $4k+ at auctions (when you include all the...

So is http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-Leaf-2012-BMS-for-battery-managing-WITH-WIRES-/332112802136?hash=item4d53773158:g:ywMAAOSwA3dYlBWS&vxp=mtr the wrong model?

Not expecting simple, would settle for achievable. Probably just a pipe dream, so hard to access the affordable higher capacity modules from down under, feels like I'm on another planet some days. Someone is bound to give it a shot though.

I'd like to pull the modules out then swap them into my 2012 nine bar 90km range pack

With 118mi of range https://www.iaai.com/Vehicle?itemID=23959551&RowNumber=0&loadRecent=True has to be a 30kwh model right? Most auction wrecks don't have a pic of the max mileage, is there some other definitive way to tell the 30kwh from the 24kwh? Sure would like to get my hands on a 30kw pack.

Wonder if the 30kwh cell chemistry is close enough to the 24kwh cell chemistry for a 2012 BMS to manage them after the swap over?

I'm puzzled by some of the technical aspects of a battery upgrade; 1) The after market pack from hybrid auto that sits in the rear parcel area & charges from the onboard charger via its own BMS apparently works. 2) Some folks are claiming however that a replacement higher capacity pack won't...

Does anybody have a diagram that relates cell number (as reported by LeafSpy) to physical location within the Leaf pack?

Just wondering what's the lowest cell voltage seen with a LeafSpy for a pack that has gone into Turtle mode? Flicking through the various LeafSpy threads 3.4v is the lowest I've seen so far.
