If you are using the Nissan Leaf Battery Blocks in a vehicle that is large enough to
hold the larger 24 module pack, you do not have to disassembled them. I bought three of the larger Nissan Leaf Battery Blocks and just bolted them down on to a chassis plate in the bottom of the battery box. I also bought a extra Nissan Leaf Battery to add more modules to the end of the 24 module battery battery pack. Just attach a threaded rod to the end of threaded rods with rod couplers to using a steel or aluminum spacer. The advantage to buying complete battery blocks, is that you get the end plates and the separating steel spacers that go between each module instead of making them. Just bolt the buss bars and BMS wire spade connectors to the terminals. If you need to parallel two modules together, you then will have to unbolt the long thread rods and placed two modules with the two positives on one side and th two negatives on the other end. The buss bars that come with the Battery Blocks are only long enough to connect two modules terminals that go from neg to pos. You either need a buss bar to branch across four positive at one end and four negative terminals at the other end, or you can reuse the short terminal buss bars to attach two modules together and then connect those two modules with another copper buss bar or use 1/2 A/C copper tubing flatten down which gets to to about 9/16 inch wide and the same thickness. Took me only a day to make up the extra modules and two days to install the battery pack. Another day to attach all the buss bars and attach the BMS wires terminals. You can purchase them NEW instead of use.
