This is my first post. I live in New Zealand in a area with poor quality grid supply and frequent prolonged outages. I have slowly added PV solar systems as stand alone support for things like water pumps and other farm needs that are now independent of the power company.
But our home is still at the mercy of grid supplied electricity. Recently I bought a Nissan Leaf with a 40kWh battery. My plan was to work with a friend who is an Electrical Engineer with many years experience. If we could access that 400VDC battery through the ChadMo connection then he can build an inverter to supply our house with 240VAC as needed during outages.
Could anyone help me understand how to close the battery relay to give connection through from the Chademo port? I can't find any information on all the little pinouts but I am sure they are looking for a signal from the charger for which they were intended. I suppose this info is guarded to protect the innocent. Well, I am not that and my friend knows what he is doing so we should get an exemption... smile
Best wishes and thanks in advance
