  • I recently purchased a used 40kwh 2018 nissan leaf battery from a salvage yard in Tennessee to disassemble for the individual battery modules to use in an electric motorcycle. This video goes through a timelapse with general instructions on how to disassemble a similar battery.
    Make sure to budget an entire day for this project, as it took me a total of 11 hours without any help or extra lifting tools.
    Enjoy!

    Thank you! It's very interesting and useful. I will eventually change the bms from my 30kwh battery to a salvage 40kwh battery

    Disassembly of the battery case may be added by using a "heat gun" to soften the adhesive. Cheers

    I was wondering have you thought about adapting a Toyota or Ford Hybrid cooling Fan system to cool the Batteries on Nissan Leaf?

    If you went that far you can probably rebuild them. You could sell a rebuilt pack for 5000 each.

      I did take it apart but don’t have video. I do have a few pictures though. Use lots of rubbing alcohol to loosen the glue holding the cells together and. It isn’t so bad.

    Jesus for the love of god if you ever going to do this again remove the LBC first, it’s the brains and heart of the pack not the shutdown switch/service switch

    • @jphaggert
      @jphaggert  Před 3 lety +2

      It may be the brains but it ain’t the muscle... removing the LBC (BMS for most other folks familiar with building or working on EVs) wont do you any good here. Even if it did, the first thing I did after opening the pack was to remove the BMS connections. The contactors are open and the mechanical pack split is removed before taking the cover off. So in essence you’re opening 2x 150V packs that are completely covered by orange plastic, while wearing 1000V gloves and ideally insulated tools.
      Again, removing the LBC/BMS will only provide a false sense of security- it has no ability to open contactors that are already open or prevent you from shorting between two terminals when unscrewing the bus bar connections.

    • @jphaggert
      @jphaggert  Před 3 lety +2

      Removing the BMS connections is the same as removing the physical BMS. The first thing I did after opening the battery was remove the connection to the BMS.
      If that’s not the case please explain.

      @@jphaggert You didn't do anything wrong. I hate that you tore the pack apart though. It should have gone into a leaf in need of a battery upgrade. Tear a part an old 24 kwh battery if you must.
