I think they use the same glue that is used to attach the windshield
to the frame of the car, some sort of Urethane, like DOW-U-428 or
similar. At least that it what it looked like and how difficult it was
to cut. Only by putting a *lot* of tension on it (read: a pry bar in

Since I know how far the bottom enclosure extends up inside the lip of
the top lid, I tend to get the fastest (and loudest) results in
opening a glued pack using an angle grinder.
I once did this while the battery was sitting in the bed of my

You need a really thin blade, you just want to cut the adhesive, not the

I used pry-bars and screwdrivers & putty knifes on a 2013 leaf battery
that was glued together. Now that I know what is inside (and how to not

Does that mean that the newer Leaf batteries can't be field-serviced, but
must be exchanged for complete new or rebuilt batteries?

Sounds like your Leaf has a 6.6 kw charger (27.5 amps at 240 volts, or
30amps at 220v) as opposed to the slower 3.3 kW charger.
62kwh / 6.6kh = 9.3 hours (If you are able to charge at the full rate
the whole time, typically it starts to taper off around 85-90% charged.)

The DC fast charger should
