If your battery boxes are a bit deeper than mine, and you can put the leaf modules in vertically you should be able to fit them. However, if they are sized for 12 lead acid batteries, you may have difficulty getting all 48 leaf modules in. I put all 48 leaf modules in the space that was forme

Jay, Great work and having it well documented is very valuable. I am at the end of life for my truck's 144V pack of 12V cart batteries and was not planning on doing lead again. Using new CALB cells is more money than I want to put into a conversion considering the options for used factory ev

Jay, Wow, only 10volts sag on a +41kw (+350amps times 118volts) of power, that is pretty amazing!! Forgive my ignorance: so each module is at 8volts? (16 in series, total 128V pack) (each Leaf module is 60ah correct?) Which BMS and charger are you using? Do you have a website or similar wher

I have successfully driven my S-10 Electric Pickup conversion powered by 48 modules from a salvaged Nissan Leaf battery pack. I have them wired in series, 16 sets of 3 parallel modules, providing 128 volts with 180Ah capacity (23 kWh). It took me a full three days of work to make the swap and
