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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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)...

Yes, even the strut mounts.

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

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...

Here are some LeafSpy charts from a drive with aggressive acceleration.

Cell test results provided by seller.

Not lfp, they are nmc.

Good points to keep in mind. I would put this in the experimental category, and hopefully it can be improved upon in the future as the well dries up for leaf battery replacement options. Also, I keep a respectable amount of caution...the car is not garaged. ;)

I did join the ends together there. Did not pressure test, maybe it would hold a few PSI. In a thermal event, that gasket isn't holding anything back, that is for sure. It's the only thing about this whole conversion I don't like. Is does rain here, but not much. After the two halves were joined...
