So a dream may come true. We can buy a battery upgrade and can reprogram the BMS to the right values. Many thanks to Dala, Safetyuggs, ... and all the other genius programmers. 👍👍👍
Thank you again for making an effort not only for making it available but also for posting this video. I'm looking for the solution when installing 40kWh worth of cells in a 24kWh enclosure. I'm willing to support this financially since it would bring me some income too.
Seeing content like this gives me hope for my ability to continue driving an EV, since anything better than a leaf costs far more than I can reasonably afford. Between CATL batteries, the CCS adaptation projects, and work on hacking the BMS, I'm getting reviewed hope that maybe I should continue driving a leaf, getting progressively more hacked to suit my needs. I desperately need a car that can travel minimum 120 miles without paying what a new car would cost
@@gutserker too bad what Dala abandoned a CCS upgrade for a leaf after adapters got released. I do battery upgrades in Los Angeles and can get you 200+ miles battery if it's in your budget. Leaf is an awesome car with not so great battery packs.
A further adaptation to CCS is a waste of time! There are other charge plugs that take over the world and should be adapted. In North America everybody is switching to NACS. In Asia, South America and Africa the chinese GB/T plug is expanding rapidly.
@@stevemichael82 I'm a actuallyhappy what CCS will die in NA. It makes no sense here! It's ugly huge connection. NACS or chademo, I'm fine with both. NACS is more elegant one without a doubt.
Wow, this is so cool! It also unlocks the path to batteries with new cells, as we'll need them as the 40 and 60 kWh batteries die out. Fabulous and thank you so much!
@itekani true, and they'll effectively last about 10 to 15 years? Only a small percentage will be available for the secondhand market, however there will be an increasing amount of perfectly fine 24 and 30 kWh Nissans that need a mid life upgrade I think.. How cool would it be to buy an upgrade kit to twice the capacity?
I did that by working with EEPROM. Only ze0 can reset bars, evenything else will reset and functionality and regen, but not bars. I also have some experience with custom flashed LBCs for different capacity, different discharge curves and even added functionality, such as heating the battery pack.
Félicitations! Congratulations from Quebec, Canada. You did achieve a great feat in this reverse engineering work! I have a 24kWh 2013 Leaf that I would like to replace allo cells in the pack with higher capacity and your good work tend to make this a real possibility! This will extend the lifespan of a number of Leafs!
I've heard that Nissan will be going broke within a year and a Japanese company could be talking them over or investing in them. I sure hope that Nissan survives, they are a good company but have not recuperated in the last few years. Thank Dala for keeping the hardware working! 👍💪✌️
I think Nissan is at least telling the truth about their situation. All the Japanese manufacturers are in trouble due to poor performance in China. Just look at Subaru sales in China. On 30,000 sold in the 1st half. Suzuki already gave up.

Nissan at least tried to make an almost full EV platform around the same time as Tesla. Most legacy car makers still don't have actual dedicated EV platforms. And even the ones who do, it is only the car which is dedicated, but the factories are not, hence you end up with cars that are still a mix. No wonder...

This is great stuff! I hope that other platforms will eventually have the same progress in this area as the Leaf as they get older. Imagine all the Tesla 3/Y out there.
Hopefully this will happen to all EV models that exit warranty, so they can stay on the roads even longer. VIVNE in china is doing great deals on Leaf upgrades.
Is anyone working on how to increase the capacity of the battery within the BMS so if you repack the battery with larger capacity cells this can be reflected in the bms
Thanks for sharing, Dala. I have an EV conversion using 64kW CATL modules with a Leaf BMS (the one with the black connector in the middle). However, it's reading the battery as 24kW. I was considering purchasing the Chinese CAN-Bridge. Do you have any solutions for this issue?
This might also be needed sooner, rather than later, i read online that Nissan was in financial distress and about to go bankrupt. This would be bad for Nissan owners. Have been looking for the longest time for a Nissan, they are generally cheaper than other EV's on the used car sales market, due to Nissan's silly "worst of both worlds" approach to charging 1 phase charging = 3.6KW max here, even though we have 3 phases, and ChaDeMo that has been dead or dying for years If the price of the Chademo to CCS2 adaptor came down in price and someone made a "faceplace" so that it could be incorporated into the existing spot where Chademo and Type2 lives today, it might be worth buying and retrofitting it into a "cheap" leaf.
Wow! I have a surplus 30kWh battery (via a crashed Leaf, where I wanted the motor stack). The battery shows 75% SOH, so I assumed I would be selling as ‘powerwall’ rather than for a vehicle. But sounds as though a vehicle is now an option. Is there a way to guesstimate what proportion of capacity is recovered based on the reported SOH? Is it a fixed proportion, or not linear? I was already watching the forum, so great to see this presented in video form. Great work!

Great news! With higher capacity batteries now available for older Leaf vehicles, can they be available for Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) or Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) for power to the home?
The V2G/L/H charger is a much harder piece of the puzzle, as opposed to vehicle regulation, you need to have a charger that is compatible with local electrical code.
I wonder if with LLMs getting better we might be able to reverse engineer other cars and their equipment. I was recently in a conference that showcased the progress and it is becoming more and more viable option.

I've been thinking to upgrade from 24 to 40 kwh battery capacity. I understand it that the unlocking of the BMS is mainly to help with the 30kwh packages that suffered these issues? Furthermore, that the CAN-bridge is just as good and functional in the swap from 24/40?
Long term, it will help battery upgrades. For now, I recommend using the budget CAN bridge. Explained more here what is needed: github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-LEAF-Battery-Upgrade/wiki
Great work as usual; but although I was looking at an old Leaf 2-3 years ago, I decided it was to low for my damaged back, and went with the higher seating position of the early Kia Soul EV; do you know of anyone doing similar work on those old EVs?? My battery is still in great health, but it would be nice to have more range - and the Mk2 Soul EV battery is a completely different format; so that option is out.
@@DalasEVRepair {sad face}. Same in the UK, as I understand it, only around 1,000 of the Mk1 Soul EV were sold in the UK, although I am not sure if that was the combined 27 and 30KWh versions, or just the very first 27KWh version. Interestingly, like the Leaf, the 2nd - larger battery option has proven to suffer far more issues and degradation, than the smaller original.
@@DalasEVRepairok, so the app is on the forum, but is it windows app or android one? I only have an iPhone, no android devices around but I can get one if needed. What with the update? Can it be done? Or do I need to periodically reset the BMS?
My Leaf ZE0 has about 10% buffer at the upper limit. Do you think it is possible to remove the buffer by modifying the BMS and use the battery from 100% capacity?
Hi. I have start troubel with my u.s.a nissan leaf. The starting batery is new and chages. But after acoupel of days the leaf not start again. I must taket of the batterypols for a half hour and a again it will start.. Whats is wrong. May be the computer make troubel??? Tankes for all videos..
So, I have a 2017 30KwH leaf with around 20% degradation. How can I check if the Bms has been updated or is affected by the miscalculation glitch? Nissan told me that they aren’t going to update the bms because the update procedure may brick it and, if that happens, the replacement cost will be on my pocket. Do the app perform a check on the Bms or it simply reset the data? Thanks to Dala and everyone who knows the answer!
You can see if you have the affected software version with Leafspy Pro, scan ECU versions. 4A was updated to 4C, 6A to 6B. If it's on the original A firmware it loses track of the actual capacity
I have checked. Funnily enough I don’t have A nor I have C. The HV battery ECU version is 4NR6B. I really don’t understand if my car has been updated or not… Maybe Dala, who is the Leaf master sorcerer, can shed some light on this mistery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma… :)

I don't blame Nissan for forcing you buy a new car because the government is forcing them to meet the EV percentage mandate by the end of the year & next.
Tesla BMS crack next?
Which generation? Might wanna go to Damien Maguire about that.
In 12 months, you may not have to worry about Nissan anymore as they may be bankrupt!
@@Derpy1969 cars are still gonna be on the road. Ask Fisker :)
Now every used Nissan Leaf will have a perfect battery and only 5000 KM/miles on the clock. Hurray! 🥳🥂
Thankfully kilometers stored on the BMS is not used by the instrumentation cluster 😅
@@CitarNosis317 No. It's impossible to reset bars on a 2013+ leafs via OBD, only with complete battery removal and with working on LBC on the bench.
Thank you for your work
