94Kwh Nissan leaf upgrade Pt1

thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the video!

[@xxxratixxx]

Thats going to be an awesome build

[@GoingOffGrid101]

You bet yea! 94kwh leaf haha

[@leasttrending]

Listen what would u recommend first setting up ur house on first to start 12,24,48 or what can u run ur whole house on 12 volt what would be better cost

[@GoingOffGrid101]

Go straight to 48v if your used to dealing with electricity

[@okinawajapan1]

Or you could go straight to a 400+ volt capable inverter and plug in a Nissan leaf battery pack directly. Check out Dala's EV youtube channel where he has a video on it and the compatible inverters. MUCH more kWh for way less money. @@GoingOffGrid101

[@okinawajapan1]

Are you using Dala's open sourced leaf projects and discord at all? Lots of great info over there.

[@GoingOffGrid101]

No I'm not I should start

[@ModernOffGridDIY]

Nice buddy keep on going. Nice project

[@GoingOffGrid101]

Thank you. How's it going over there?

[@dama054]

Looking forward to seeing it done

[@GoingOffGrid101]

Same here

[@GoingOffGrid101]

I'm so excited!!!

[@mikejf4377]

How are you doing a BMS on those batteries? 54 KW? What is the length of them.

[@GoingOffGrid101]

I'm not sure what bms I will be using yet

[@frankz1125]

Nice. My ebike build is 24s. Cheers

[@GoingOffGrid101]

I know where to get more

[@easylawncare]

Freaking awesome 👌 Sorry for the shorts. Easy fix, man.

[@GoingOffGrid101]

Yea learning more everyday 😌

[@installmetoday]

OMG can't wait to see that ..

[@GoingOffGrid101]

Haha same here! Going to be a little bit, waiting for my vehicle hoist

[@Ruudi05]

Why don't you put these modules inside nissan original battery case under the car?

[@GoingOffGrid101]

They are to long I think

[@offgridwanabe]

Another live and learn battery lol I have confidence you will figure it out. Too bad it wouldn't fit in one piece on the flat floor.

[@GoingOffGrid101]

I'll get it done, one way or another lol

[@NiHaoMike64]

Tesla has an additional shield to protect from objects coming from the bottom, was added to the design after an accident many years ago.

[@GoingOffGrid101]

o good, I was thinking this was super bad, but this pack still has massive damage to the front as you can see in video.

[@simond7582]

watching this one with interest....model 3 batteries go for less than leaf batteries where I am!

[@GoingOffGrid101]

O wow

[@simond7582]

@@GoingOffGrid101 much less LOL we have a lot of old leafs romaing around and the demand for replacements is going up eg. M3 60kwh $7k-8k vs 14-16k for a 40kwh leaf battery, although recently the used market for leafs has dumped and 40kwh cars are starting at 17k so we are likely to see a correction on battery prices.

[@GoingOffGrid101]

@simond7582 I just bought a 40kwh leaf lol with a good battery

[@GoingOffGrid101]

@@frankz1125 I have a lead on some if interested

[@frankz1125]

@@GoingOffGrid101 not for that price. I dont think I like the configuration and the design either. They dont look as safe as they used to be. Be safe brother

[@leasttrending]

Is that 5 hi low or middle seems hi for small tesla battery seem like battery hook up or Garcia would have better

[@frankz1125]

Definitely staying away from the packs. Thanks for sharing. What a bad design. Lol

[@GoingOffGrid101]

Yea hard to work with lol

[@frankz1125]

@@GoingOffGrid101 for most cases yes but if it will work for your needs then thats good. Id rather not hack packs apart. You should show them a bit better in a video. Cheers

[@GoingOffGrid101]

@@frankz1125 will do!

[@rickdsanchez6452]

This is quickly becoming illegal

[@GoingOffGrid101]

O why is that?

[@rickdsanchez6452]

@fliping720 "safety " eu is considering battery passports

[@GoingOffGrid101]

@rickdsanchez6452 I gues, no different than having a can of gas in the vehicle with you.
