Here, with the help of a friend who knows how to do these things, and the excellent Translator Kit from #EVsEnhanced, is a video showing the full photo sequence from my #LeafBatteryUpgrade - a 2014 AZE0 24kwh Leaf, to which I fitted a 62kwh pack from a later ZE1 car, using not only the Translator Kit from EVsEnhanced, but also their Service Reporting Tool to fully report the battery details, and to re-flash all the systems that needed an upgrade, together with the mounting brackets that I had made up at my local Metal Shop ......
Here's the full photo sequence, with descriptions for each step :

Great video! and hello from an e-Niro owner not far from you in 79 (Deux-Sevres)....I notice the car is registered in Charentes Maritime. Should be good for another few hundred thousand km now. 😊
Very interesting. Love your work
Thankyou 😁
Thank you for sharing this very detailed battery upgrade process. It was very interesting to see, it's not rocket science if you know what you are doing. Reasonably priced 62kWh pack is hard to find here in Finland. Was your new pack easy to source ? Some people like to order from Norway, because there are lots of wrecked Leafs especially during winter months.
I bought a used pack, at 98%SOH, as it's around 3 times more for new......
@@tobyholland1961how did u find it? Craigslist or eBay etc? Or from a car parts seller?
@@MrRossi1805 I buy these from 3 different suppliers
Too bad that you are far away in Hungary. I live in Sweden and am interested in upgrading my 24kwh leaf to 40kwh. Is there a possibility?
How do you remove plastic clips? Where can you get new ones?
We ordered a set of clips when the battery cover came off of our 2014 UK Visa in a flood. eBay was our source.
Thank you
This is awesome info thank you! I am wondering if you have any tips on where to find a battery. Thanks
That would depend entirely on where you are in the world........but, Salvage Yards, Battery Specialists & Owners Groups woukd be a good place to start...
Wow awesome video!
I am just wondering if you needed to upgrade the suspension of the car, givin that the new battery is heavier than the original on
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.
Have you had any problems with the battery not being recognised by the car during charging or running? I have a 2010 Japanese import that is now down to 80km after full charge (6 bars showing).
No problems at all!
The EVsEnhanced Translator Kit makes it 'like factory' and is plug and play - it sounds as though you'll need a #LeafBatteryUpgrade soon, too 😉
@@tobyholland1961 That's brilliant to know. Thanks Al
I just had feedback from a customer that 1 type of Chademo charger wouldn't start after his #LeafBatteryUpgrade - I've not encountered this in 40,000kms, but there's always one!! So I visited the manufacturer of the Chademo chargers involved, in my 2014/62, and they found that the Chademo response from a modified car was marginally slower since the modification - a by-product of the vital translator - it took them 10 minutes to re-write their Charger coding, and transmit it to the 30 or so chargers they operate throughout Hungary. 😁
What did this cost and how do you go about it with insurance
The car and upgrade, in total, cost me €13000 including the credit for the old battery pack, which went on to upgrade a 5 bar Leaf.
One needs to sort the Insurance specifics with ones Insurers / Broker....
@@mnmszerviz thank you great video
Is this a video or a slideshow?
@@18avshalomyes!
@@18avshalomit says in the description it's "a video of the photo sequence" 🤯
high voltage protective gloves needed?
No. Which, of course is why you see none in the video...... Once the 12v is disconnected & the HV cutoff removed, the battery pack is totally safe.
No, that's why the HV cutoff is removed at the start of the process.....
