This is amazing. This kind of independent repair shop upgrades and repairs must be easy to implement by design; mandatorily. This will save millions of cars from scrapyards and prevent waste of resources. Thank you Dala.

It's amazing to think that the battery capacity has increased 260% while it has only become 40mm taller. Technology at work!

😀 Thanks again for supporting the Leaf community!

Great work again as always! Customer is very happy.

Great video! Thank you for all your contribution to the Nissan Leaf 2011-2017 community.😊 Keep up the good work!👍

A great video on installing a bigger fuel tank, it makes a big range difference.

Only finding this now... wow. Just wow. NISSAN NEEDS YOU!

Thanks. Excellent video as always.

Brilliantly done ✅

Nice tidy job. Well done!

Nice work! I'm only hanging onto my 24kW in the hope that I'll come across a salvage 62kW :D

Tidy job done ,thanks for the view

Brilliantly done. I was considering this but then I was rear ended by an old man. Now I'm waiting for an MG4. :)

Nice to know the budget

Good job! Wish I had skills like yours

Awesome job mate! I have a crazy idea, and I think you would love it! I'm in Helsinki, but if you like the idea, I could come there to the west cost! Anyways, congrats for the great work!

nice upgrade!

brilliant! very impressive

I have been looking for a good battery to do this. I intend to buy your CAN bridge when I can find a pack. It will be going into a 2013 Leaf.

Wish we had someone like you in Germany!👍👍👍👍👍🇪🇺🇺🇦🕊️

thanks for sharing. are you sourcing the 62kWh battery from NISSAN ?

Well done, Dala👍

Well done Dala. I hope to come across a 62kW one day for mine.

You sir, are a Wizard !

great job !

Hello you are great I really admire you . I haven't found on your video but did you succeed increasing the leaf's AC plug to 22kwh ? Thank you

Taattua laatua! Hieno video.

Astonishing

Great video Dala! What are you using for the little anti-crush inserts @1:30 ? Some cut down pipe of some kind?

Great work!

Great!! then how fast for how far?

Brilliant video......I could have watched the whole day's work if it had been filmed. I have just bought a Japanese import Leaf from 2010. It has a maximum range of approximately 70km, has around 70,000km on the clock, but drives beautifully. I would be really interested in doing this upgrade but the question would be where to find a battery?

mahtava video! nyt harmittaa kun ostin turhaan kalliimman ladattavan kun olis voinut saada samalla hinnalla halvimmman leaffin uudemmalla akulla.

Hi Dala, you surely got my respect. Great job and happy New Year! I own one of the first 2011 Leaf models without a power charging socket. Which means the battery's life is still quite good. Nonetheless, with everything else in good nick, what kind of upgrade would you recommend since a full charge might take more than 8 hours.

Hello and congrats for this excellent video. May I know please, is it possible to upgrade a 2021 Leaf 40kw battery to 62kw battery? Will it be easier or harder to replace it ? Also with a new 40kw battery swap to another of 62kw battery how much you thing will be the cost difference?

So , I was thinking , what would happen if you installed a 62 KW battery into a 2011 Leaf? Could the area in the trunk where the original electronics for the battery sat be turned into a way to blow air into and out of the rear battery module for cooling? The Toyota Prius did something similar. It had an air intake in the cabin area of the rear seat. The first gen Prius used air to cool their battery. If 2 or 3 inch flexible hoses could be cut into the top of the rear of the battery pack, they could be fed up into the body behind the rear seat. A fan with an air filter could take air from inside the back area of the car on one side send it through the battery pack and exhaust it back into the car on the other side or possibly out into the inner fender or body on the other side. It might be possible to install a kind of blend air damper. This is all just a thought. I know there are other factors to deal with but the first gen leaf had that hump all the way across behind the rear seat when newer vehicles didn't.

Great video! 😀 Wouldn't mind upgrading to a 62 kWh or even a 40 kWh one, but that will have to wait until I won the lottery or something. 30-50 km of range on current 24 kWh pack will have to do for now.

Bob, is there new modules that you are aware of to upgrade a 24 KWH 2013 to a 40 KWH?

Great job, no doubt about it. My wife drives a 2011 leaf since Nov 2010. She loves it. However, it only goes 32km (20 miles) at full charge now. I don't wanna mention the range when A/C is turned on. I looked around at the battery swap options. You won't believe how this turned into a business. I called tremendous of a number of junkyards where they get tier cars from the insurance company or directly from the people. Leafs arrive without a battery. Some people just collect them and sell them over the internet and you can tell that it is not cheap at all. This became a good business. You need to do a great calculation that if the swap makes sense, Nissan offers a new battery if you are ready to pay $12,000 CAD if you are ready to pay 2011 GEN1 battery pack. My question to you is: As we all know, there is nothing wrong with the car and there is no need to buy a new car until cars would have full capability to have fully autonomous driving. Why Nissan just produces the new battery pack compatible with their older models; we all know it is simple as producing a laptop battery for older laptops. What do you guys think?

Wait for 100kWh next level upgrade.... Lifepo4 battery or better 😎 💪 Puoi farcela!

Haha if you own a 24 kw/h Leaf and watch you turn on this one, it's quite amazing to see 446 km range after hearing the familiar little startup sound. I suppose we'll upgrade in a few years if the rest of the car keeps holding up.

My question is what about charging still only sport 50 kw chargers ? How long does it takes to charge

Give all the honors

Mr. Daniel, you are really a wonderful person and you work very professionally. Thanks Daniel But where do you live, Mr. Daniel?

Congrats on collecting a 62kwh pack!

Amazing job!!! 446km/277 miles!!! Hey did you see evsenhanced has a thermally managed battery for the leaf?

As a mechanical novice I just want to clarify something. Using the mounts you showed, a 62kwh battery pack attached directly to a MK1 Leaf, and all the electrics and electronics were just plug and play. Is this correct? And from the point of having the battery removed, this took you just a single day??

Hi Dala! How much did cost the big pack? Where did You get it? Also, I live in Latvia and for winter or summer field rides I do put higher profile tyres... At the moment I drive Octavia 06' tdi on high 16' wheels, it looks like 4x4😁 My wife has Note, and we are due to swap it to "old" Leaf.. Solar bought, not installed yet..

Yes, of course I will eventually swap my 70% SoC 30kwh battery for a 62kWh if I can source one, but I can't be bothered to all of that soldering stuff. Off the shelf diy adapters kit or it won't happen for me.

I have the same 62 kWh in my 2014 leaf. It was installed in Poland 2022.02 in Radom, company: "elektryka u Patryka" Problems: For me, it shows the battery percentages wrong, LeafSpy is essential. Only the first plastic under the engine fit.

Hi, dala I have one question . Active pooling to HVBAT in aze0 is working after replacing battery from ZE1? There is different response 7BB ze0 vs ze1 and after checking your code there is no translation for 7BB response.

Did I missed a description for reproducing the bracket / spacer? As mention in the video 😅

After performing the final 180Kw power upgrade, will you do some weight reduction, and maybe put on coil-overs, stronger brakes and semi slicks like NS-2Rs? Would be quite a mental machine on the track.

Hi Did you try battery upgrade for BMW i3 If not please make a video on I3 battery upgrade

Amazing swap thanks for doing Vids like this also can you speak about the cost of this I installations and what was done with the old battery etc please 🙏 would be very interesting information to hear

Does the larger pack help with the over heating issue with the packs?

Great work...but.... (new subscriber question). How much does it cost for the upgrade? Cheers from NW Ontario Canada

We need this in the uk 🇬🇧

We need more Dala's in the world. How do we scale your efforts up? I've liked and subscribed sir. Great work! I have a 2018 w 40kwh and 92k miles on it. How much does a 62kwh run for? I can google it of course but you actually have purchased them. It is a big deal for me as I need to decide what to do as the miles keep creeping up. Thank you!

Do you do these for others ?

So where do you procure one of the new batteries? Can you buy thrm directly from nissan or do you have to find a wrecked one

Hi! Where I can purchase this 62 kwh battery?

Realy Nice job. Wath is the price for this operation?

Did that new mounting also meant 40 mm less ground clearance? If so might be problem on some speed bumps.

Dala: Awesome job! Where are you located? I have 2012 Nissan Leaf currently with 6 bars left. How much will you charge me to upgrade to 62KW battery

I want also change my car battery Nissan Leaf 2012 24KWH To 62KWH how do it

I am in northern Indiana, USA, and there is a 2011 or 12 leaf for sale for nine months. I think he wants 6000 for it. If the OEM battery is kaput, I may consider buying this car and doing the big battery upgrade

hello. about the CAN bridge.... would you elaborate more as to why not using CONSULT 3 PLUS for any software installations. What was the software and where did you installed on? thank you

Wow I didn't realize the Nissan Leaf could go that far.

With lots of manufacturers working on solid-state batteries that would be more energy dense, do you think/would you test if they would work with a Nissan leaf?

Dala, could a battery update 24 → 40kWh for the ZE0 be done by changing the modules inside the battery housing? So 24 modules 14,4V would replace 48 modules 7,2V?

If one would like to eventually replace rhe 40kwh battery with the 62kwh on a leaf18, then there would be the same mounting brackets issue as between the two just like in this case even with the newer chassis on the leaf18?

Good Work! 277 mile range for a Leaf is awesome! Is there a resource for transplanting a Leaf motor/batteries/control system into a classic sports car either front engine/rear drive layout? (Subject is a 1965 Triumph Spitfire.) Any help is much appreciated.

Has anyone investigated putting better air cooling on the Nissan leaf battery? I’ve read of ducted air con to the battery making improvement. Edit : found a video elsewhere showing 3D printed duct & hose to connect air conducting dash vent outlet to the battery isolator on floor at back seat. Unfortunately this made little noticeable difference as it was blowing air over the sealed battery pack housing, not through it. I’m thinking dry non humid air blown through the sealed battery pack _might_ make a noticeable difference if the battery-air heat exchange does not leave hotspots. Would be a very experimental process to test.

I want to increase the battery capacity of my Mahindra e20 plus car from 11kwh to 16 kwh,I have made all the physical connections so that battery is can be charged through existing bms,car is running but there is no modifications in cluster reading and SOC status.what kind of software modifications or shunt modifications needed to solve the problem? Please help

Great work! :) Some questions, will the brakes need to be upgraded as well, due to extra weight? And what about 'type approval' for the vehicle, will it be approved in the next semi yearly 'MOT'-test / EU-control with the extra weight and new battery?

I wonder what orbs were flying past at 8:40? Vasa UFO sighting 2022

Dala (or anyone), In your calculations, does it cost less to buy a ZE0 leaf and upgrade it to 62 kwh, or to just buy a Leaf+ (new or used) with the 62 kwh battery from the factory?

Hello Dala I have two questions: 1.do the inverter handle the load and driving 400 km continuously without stoping ?? 2.do the battery needs cooling since the the old battery doesn’t have a lot of load but now if you drive high range there might be load and need cooling in summer?? Thanks in advance

I’ve been look at the leaf & the battery upgrade but the new MG4 is now so cheap in comparison, what are your thoughts on it in comparison?

very nice work. I have a 2018 40kw leaf and want to upgrade to 62kw. is it possible?

What year was the donor pack from and what model rear is the recipient?

I do not see a link to the upgraded springs. thank you!

Where do you get your CAN bridge and software? I'm just about to do a conversion for a customer

I drive a Nissan leaf daily great wee car only thing is its lack of miles . In summer full charge registers as 128 -138 Mickey Mouse Miles estimate in winter Full charge registers as 117 - 122 Mickey Mouse Miles estimate what would the cost be for this larger battery pack as i find 95% = 446 miles estimate rather amazing Great video thanks for sharing Edit i think i have the 40 kWh battery just now . I'm amazed at the increase in miles for just an extra 22kw to make 62kw = +306 EXTRA MILES

Hello Dela, do you finish modification to use CCS on Nissan Leaf?

What about the software used to pair the new battery with the car?

Great video! Thansk for the parts numbers as well. A question, though. At 4:50 you said there may be some links to pics of the adapter plates that are sandwiched in. Would be interested to see a bit more about how exactly those were implemented. Not sure you had time to take extra pictures to share, but any that you have to help better visualize what you did would be really appreciated. Thanks again for all that you do for the Nissan Leaf community!

If I could get hold of a 62kw/h batteri I definitly would upgrade.

how much did the 62kw battery cost?

I wanna ask you about blade battery BYD replacement and if we can do it with liquid cooling If yes can u describe how

more weight more power more battery used ?

What about suspension? May be rear springs from Juke will fit?

Did you buy a new 62kwh battery ?

Do you do commissions. I have a 24 leaf looking to upgrade to 62?

TOP MY FREIND

I miss my LEAFs

I need those adaptor rails drawings or images to do my upgrade, where can I get these ?

Is the 62 kWh new or out of anther car ? I have been waiting for a company the make aftermarket packs

What a brilliant video and channel. I'd love to do this on my 2011 Leaf. Not sure I'd manage it on my own, nor if I'd be able to find a battery in Scotland. Maybe one for next year!
