Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Thanks :) The hidden world of chinese battery upgrades. Okay so here is something interesting. Nissan made a Chinese only market BEV, that is called the Nissan Sulphy. Take a look at that picture, it looks so, normal! Why EU doesn't get something like this is perplexing. The english Wikipedia page f...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Fixing a bug that haunted ZE0 users for >10 months! So today I got a huge weight of my shoulders. I fixed the last quickcharge bug that affected battery upgraded ZE0 Leafs. Why did it take me so long? Why was it so hard to fix? Lets dive in. For those of you who don't know, there are significant dif...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So I gave the Leaf some well needed protection this weekend. It now has a fighting chance against the salty winter roads. Sorry in advance for poor pictures, I used my mobile phone which has a cracked lens. Started with removing the underbody plastic. I also re-checked the towbars bolt, and they wer...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

I just uploaded a video on how to setup the development environment needed for the CAN-bridges. Might be of use to someone wanting to start coding for this platform. Super nerdy stuff warning!

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So something that I get asked a lot is, "Can you do something about rapidgate?". The short answer is kind-of, but there is something you can do about it. First what is rapidgate? In short, rapidgate is overheating of the battery, causing slow charge speeds after the second successive quickcharge. Es...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Alright, here is what I've been up to the past few days. All this started since I needed a way to charge faster at the workshop garage, where I'm currently conducting all the actual work (battery upgrades, R&D etc.). I wanted to set up a proper charging station, and by proper I mean a safety first i...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So I've been coding up some new functionality for my Leaf. This is something I feel should have been mandatory on the Leaf from the beginning, since it makes for safer charging. u6fHHyJBMu8 Now I can bring only my 3.3kW charger everywhere, and make adjustments when needed :) I will be pushing this n...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Nice, I noticed when those two cars are side by side that side blinker looks more aerodynamic in the older white car, it might be the colour of the car that's making the trick. It's odd that blinkers are not in the side mirrors like in many cars. Maybe there is very minor place to catch a little mo...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

So some updates of what I've been up to. I bought a new LEAF! Or rather, I bought an older Leaf. My current black -15 AZE0 only allowed me to develop the software so far, so I needed access to the older ZE0 Leaf. So I went and picked up Finlands cheapest one :) It's a white -12 ZE0, with the cold we...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Today I went mobile 🚗. A customer needed help with a battery repair (HV contactor replacement). Here are some thoughts about acting as a mobile-tech. Due to the current ongoing pandemic, I packed lunch and lots of coffee, so I didn't have to shop anywhere. Oh, and hand sanitizer! The total roundtrip...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

Okay so this is something really cool. As some of you may already know the 24kWh pack in the LEAF doesn't actually let you use all those kWh. It keeps a buffer on top, and limits the charge voltage to 4.10->4.13V depending on model year. This means you get roughly 21kWh of usable capacity. But what ...

Re: Dala's Leaf buildthread (2015 Nissan Leaf)

I got my new parking space all cleaned up over my vacation :) Overnight charging with 240V 8A is just on the edge what a 40kWh battery needs, so if I get the bigger 62kWh battery in the future I'm gonna have to upgrade the charger
