Lee is right, the Featherweight is to low an Ah battery= do not buy. *Please read the entire Leaf forum thread (all pages, begning to end): https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=24646 It mentions a replacement was an optima agm battery https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/optima-yellow-top-deep-cycle-battery-group-size-51r-450-cca-d51r/16940001-p 12V * 66minutes= 13+Ah Thus, I would target 12V 15Ah (or higher) battery to be safe: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=12v+15ah+lithium+battery https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/autocraft-silver-battery-group-size-51r-410-cca-51r-1/2040107-P auto parts store sez original battery is a group 51r (the r suffix means the terminals are reversed, see videos below for cable orientation) Specifications BCI Group Size: 51R Cold Cranking Amperage: 410 A Cranking Amperage: 544 A Height: 8.75 in Length: 9.375 in (note dimensions) Width: 5.062 in Negative Terminal Location: Top Left Positive Terminal Location: Top Right Reserve Capacity: 70 min Terminal Type: Top Mount Voltage: 12.0 VDC Weight: 26.81 lb A 12v 15ah battery that is an easy drop-in fit & has the correct lugs to connect the cables, should work: https://www.google.com/search?q=12v+battery+15ah *Please view both videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS3ssRpJYdg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wcz5oXY1tY The 1st video shows connecting a 12V source to the cables before disconnecting the cables. That will save a lot of grief by not losing interal settings (don't cause more problems for yourself). The 2nd video shows removal of the hold down bracket 1st before removing the cables, is wiser. Also, clean the outside of the cables, the battery tray & bracket with a blue (windex-type) glass cleaner & paper towels. That not only cleans, it is also slightly alkaline so as to neutralize any PbSO4 acid spray. Then use rubbling alcohol & paper towels to clean the inside of the cable's terminals and the battery's lugs for a good metal to metal contact. After 2 weeks of use, retighten the 12V battery connectors. If you decide to replace with a lead-acid PbSO4 battery, apply anti-acid corrosion grease https://www.autozone.com/batteries-starting-and-charging/battery-terminal-grease/american-grease-stick-battery-terminal-grease/249149_0 to the metal surfaces of the mounted cable connectors (do not use the spray-on junk, it does not last, thus is a waste of time & $) Good Luck :-) For EVLN EV-newswire posts view: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ https://mail-archive.com/ev@lists.evdl.org/maillist.html {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
