Exactly. I am running my US Electricar with Leaf packs now, All that was needed to go from lead-acid to Lithium was program a configuration change in the controller To allow the higher charge and drive voltages. I still need to pull the data from the Leaf BMS that I kept on the pack, so that I can more accurately show How the packs are doing as well as to protect from overcharge/underdischarge. Cor.

I'm sure it would be easier just to switch to lithium. I imagine only a few changes would be necessary the charger would need to be switched unless one could reprogram it.
