On THIS vehicle, yes ...

absolutely !! Too many people ignore it, or say its not necessary ...

Please don't be sorry, it's why I compile and post all these videos, to spread the knowledge and positivity. GIDs are a measure of a LEAF battery's actual ability, not just a nominal percentage - named after the gent that devised the measure - the GIDs % can often be WAY lower than the SOC %, added to the results of the 'stress test' for the battery packs, give a buyer a true indication of the strengths and weaknesses in a LEAF Battery pack.

​@@mnmszerviz thanks for explaining this. My 24kwh leaf is now 10 years old with 91k miles. When charged to 100%, leaf spy shows soc at 97% with gids at 75%. What you i make of this? (Soh is 74% and Hx 60%)

At THIS speed, on the autobahn, only about 200kms ....

I recommend every 2 years on a well-used car, 3 to 4 on low mileage cars - there's no such thing as oil thats too clean ....

Going from the revolting oil I regularly pull out of these diffs, I'd say yes, get it changed - I'll bet its badly discoloured already ...

This oil is this 'runny' by design - to reduce resistance and improve economy

Up to 50mv is perfectly fine, from 50 to 100 is getting bad, and over 100 will give issues delivering big power, especially in winter .....

That is a very poor comment. Although 75w-90 will nominally improve the protection, it will massively affect the economy, downwards - not advised at all - regular changes with the recommended oil are the best .....

No, Nissan specify an ATF6 oil , the 'runniness' helps with economy.

Absolutely ! This is my £LeafBatteryUpgrade demonstartion car, and I do this often

Indeed - and, very commen, too .....

Igen - minden modul rossz van :-O

It wouldn't accept DC charging in the ZE1, and, while testing it, I also found that the AC charging would drop out randomly ....

Yes, WAAAAAY too long ......

I am currently doing the due diligence on the 'Chinese CATL' type conversions, only time and testing will tell if their degradation is any better than the OE packs.....it would need to be at least as good for me to offer the Lifetime Guarantee that I do on OE #LeafBatteryUpgrade #NissanLeafBatteryUpgrade work

I'm in the process of doing due diligence on the CATL type replacements - it just takes time to ensure the SOH will hold ...

@@mnmszerviz based on the latest updates in a forum, another thing to look at is the cell temperatures during / after fast 50kW Chademo charging.

This #LeafBatteryUpgrade used a Nissan OE pack with its integral BMS, so you only need the #EVsEnhanced Translator Kit & brackets, like this: th-cam.com/video/neMCEl3ZUkk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m1bwu4seO4Ace5ij

Here's the 'how to' video: th-cam.com/video/neMCEl3ZUkk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m1bwu4seO4Ace5ij

@@mnmszerviz Thank you, I don't quite understand that the video doesn't explain how to replace 62kw with 24kw.

If one is fitting a larger battery to a Leaf, a Translator Kit from £EVsEnhanced makes fitting any battery a plug & play conversion. Using a CanBridge, if one has the wiring ability, is another option.

Yep !! Or the right side .... th-cam.com/video/a5xlPnzT6dw/w-d-xo.html

Absolutely ! Replacing the battery gives an older Leaf a new lease of life ...

I use the recommended LeLink2

I CAN list them on Ebay for you, but due to their charges, they're 25% more expensive than buying direct........Patreon Catalogue is still under development.

I bought it online from Australia, used, hence only 20AUD :-)

For cars that get a lot of use, I recommend every 2 years. Longer is possible, but there's no such thing as oil that's TOO clean.....

It's not needed, the AZE0 is ready for the plug & play EVSENHANCED Translator Kit.....

Yep 🤣

That's for a future video - Like & Subscribe, and if I survive, I'll post it 🤣🤣

I know, scary what would have otherwise been breathed in ....

This is a professional Induction Heater :-)

It actually shows more than that at 100%, 438 as you see, as we live in a village, so driving in is more restrained than in this video.......that's only 7km per kwh which is very easily achieved at moderate speeds.

There are scores of 'more' on my Channel - have a look through them, like & subscribe, and you can get notifications when I post new ones [more added today .....]

NO, the 80% charge limit on earlier cars ONLY applies to the AC charging - the DC charging goes around this limit [where applicable] AND the Charging Timer, hence why this video can be vital - there's a Take3 I've done, too, using the convenient Type2 tp Type1 adapter, which is always handy to carry with you, in case you can't find any Chademo & you're desperate .....

If you buy & fit the AC Charge Limiting Kit that I'm demonstrating here, it'll work just fine .......

Also does not work on 2022

​@@mnmszerviz Is this still available and where can I purchase ? Looks interesting.

​@@mnmszervizwhere can I buy one? thanks.

Absolutely :-) Here's the link to the 'how to' video: th-cam.com/video/f_5kKW_bQ7Q/w-d-xo.html

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome!

The car will not lock if the keys are inside........ ☺️

The new technology CATL type batteries for the Leaf are shipping from China now - they can give you prices, delivered to wherever you are :-)

We ordered a set of clips when the battery cover came off of our 2014 UK Visa in a flood. eBay was our source.

One of the final scenes in the video is the comparison of lower height with the 62kwh pack fitted - the lower ride height, with the deeper pack, reduce the airflow under the car, improving the economy more than just with the axle deflector I fitted. This that require the original ride height and/or extra ground clearance can easily fit rear springs from a 62kwh car, or proprietory coil spring assisters, available online.

Thankyou 😁
