Leaf cells
Leaf cells
I used to have access to the for sale section of the forum but it seems I am now blocked. Anyone else have this problem?

Leaf cells

here's a photo of the new modules and the old cells. The CALBs had top levelling strips but no active BMS, by the time I'd noticed they were out of balance the damage had been done (to some). They will likely be re-purposed for a 48V house system.

It just randomly occurred to me that I never reported back.
Car has been up and driving for 6 months or so now. Electrically, all has been great.
I have a mechanical gremlin (drivetrain vibration) I haven't been able to solve just yet - and a busy uni semester and family addition has limited my time to look in to it. I suspect I may be up for a new gearbox - as such I've got my controller set ultra conservatively and haven't yet pushed the batteries! Sag is much less than with the CALBs though and the car is driving great.
Car needs a wash and detail and some terminal covers, I'll post some photos after that. Very happy with the leaf cells though. Easy to work with.

Re: Leaf cells
i just found this looks interesting

the other interesting thing i have just come across is, my house mate has a relative in japan and is in the car import and export business and i have just asked him to look in to viability of importing ether the battery packs of if needed the full cars
and i was just thinking if you replace the battery pack before bringing in the cars hmmm

Re: Leaf cells
I guess landed at my door $165-180ea.
But since there is low availability this has driven the price up a bit.

Re: Leaf cells
There are 48 in the original leaf.
But I have 40 for my conversion due to voltage requirements (20S2P).
