Hi Jonathan, very interesting video as we don’t normally get to see a Leaf battery. On the front there’s a black tubular stub to the right of the red and orange electrical connectors. What’s the black thingy used for? Is it part of a battery cooling system?
What a waste to use such a good battery for storage – would have given an old leaf many more years of service before being retired as a storage battery for a home…
Hi Jonathan. Thank you for your interesting report on removing the main battery from a Nissan Leaf. (It reminds me of happy days of replacing the engine in a Ford Anglia 100E). Several points arise, though:- 1. Will you be covering the new use of the battery? 2. Will you be providing a cost analysis of “breaking” a Nissan Leaf? 3. Do you know of a manual that describes the Nissan Leaf? (Haynes don’t appear to do one). Keep up the good work.
So much for nissan and be responsible and use the battery. This leaf end up in a yard parts sold on. Don't happen to have a ptc part for the air con. Mines is dead as they say Nissan quoted me crazy price to replace.
Good one Johnathan, I also have a 3Kw system on my house but at the next opportunity I intend to get a powerwall type storage battery as I cringe when I see the amount of electricity I export over the year (about 75% of my generation). I want to get it to as close to zero as possible. Not got an EV yet but that's also on my list, we do drive hybrids though.
This is now listed on e bay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123282337622
I would have bought the battery if i could have had it shipped to Denmark.
Is it ok to drive safely and smoothly after changing battery?Do you have any video for this (after battery replacement)?
you've got balls to sit in microscopic shards of glass like it's nothing
This battery would be ideal to replace my 1/2 cooked Aussie 2012 leaf battery and my old battery would run a house for many years. What a waste.
Interesting watch no #HealthnSafety police 👍 good old fashioned plan 👏

If they ever start selling these in my country I wouldnt mine owning one at all. They seem really cool as a daily driven car.

Thought the pack would be thicker.
Before following Jonathon I mistakenly thought California was the centre of EV activity, when it's actually Orkney. Live and learn.
Really interesting stuff Jonathan. Good to know the battery is to be re-used albeit not in a car.
Good video, great sound!! Thanks that was very informative.
What I meant by head set was the car stereo..
Is the head set for sale?
Really interesting this one Jonathan. Thank you 🙏🏻
