Leaf BMS used with other cells

Post by 2010RELEAF »

Does the leaf bms keep track of battery capacity. If my battery chemistry and pack voltage is the same as factory will it be able to do a 100kWh instead of the 24kWh it came with?

I think you’ll find the BMS is programmed to match the physical capacity. In my build, at one point, I had a 40kWh BMS with 60kWh battery. It meant it displayed 0% battery when it still had 20kWh more available.
