2015 Nissan LEAF - Cruise Control
"Cruise Control enables you to set a desired speed between 25 and 89 miles per hour -- and remain there until you wish to slow down, accelerate or stop.
Why don't you offer Intelligent Cruise Control? Its much more comfortable
and offers increased security. Its slowly becoming standard option even for
smaller cars.
Please advice when it will be available and I will consider buying a Leaf.
+Joe Mamma LOL, I nailed it right on the head, didn't I?Why are you yelling so much? Is it just so loud with all the crazy voices in your head that you have to scream out expletives and name-calling? You really are a psycho, aren't you?I'm not complaining, though. I'm really enjoying this! Your irrational behavior is very entertaining, so please continue. I want you to keep freaking out over nothing, right after you prove with evidence your claim that those are not prismatic packs but are actually 18650's.
+skyBridgeConcept BULL SHIT!!!!..THOSE ARE NOT PRISMATIC PACKS...THOSE ARE CELLS WHICH APPEAR TO BE 18650'S, QUIT BEING AN ASS HOLE....PRISMATIC PACKS ARE WHAT'S IN THE LEAF BATTERIES YOU ARE DISASSEMBLING....
these are not 18650 cells. they are in prismatic pack. if you want 18650 format cells you will need to open laptop batteries or lithium power drill batteries.
You should have spent more time explaining about the cells and the pack and
less time explaining how to take it apart. How many of your viewers do you
think are going to be taking apart this pack themselves? Almost none. We
want to know how the pack works and how it differs from the packs in other
cars.
+Jeremy Venturino LiFePO4 is not about cost. I haven't found any information about what battery technology Leaf uses but somewhere I read the voltage was 403.2 volt, 48 packs with each 4 cells. That rhymes om it's parallel so 96 cells of the ordinary 4.2 V li-ion equals 403.2 volt.The reason Tesla last that long is only partly because "wet" cylindrical cells have better longevity than polymer pouch cells. The big reason is that normally Tesla doesn't charge cells to 4.2 volt/each and doesn't discharge them too deeply either (tells user it's empty way before they actually are). Of course that requires a large bank to have great apparent capacity but cells last much longer. Your phone would too but apparent capacity would only be half or so. You can charge Tesla to full 4.2 v/cell if you need the capacity but doing that regularly like your phone or laptop is a bad idea else Tesla's batteries will only last as good as your phones or laptops and have worn out very quickly.LiFePO4. I haven't seen them in pouch cells. But they're 3.2 v/each (charge to 3.6 v). They in contrast to ordinary 4.2 v lithium technologies have a very good cycle rate and longevity. Easily lasting twice as long or more. Could be used in your phone or laptop but then runtime wouldn't look impressive on paper - while in reality recoverable capacity of ordinary li-ion mostly used will quickly fade at or below capacity of similar physical size LiFePO4 - after which LiFePO4 would have the highest capacity in the real world. Another great benefit of LiFePO4 is that it's very stable even at physical damage and moderate overcharge - very difficult to get thermal runaway like LiCo etc. Mostly heat is because of the current that's flowing. Even discharging to 0 (yes, zero!) poses no safety risk. While it's not healthy for the cells they do not become dangerous - again in contrast to other types. Charge it very slowly and if not being low for too long you won't notice any capacity drop.But yeah. It's beyond me while Nissan is making such junk. That's because of cost ;) But also gives electric cars a bad reputation. I'd say if someone would make one with decent range (even just 3-400 km would suffice for one used to drive to work) based on LiFePO4 not charging them to full 3.6 - i.e. using a "Tesla" scheme on LiFePO4 - then you'd probably never have to change batteries in most cases as lifetime would be even higher than Tesla's LiCo. If using high current LiFePO4 they should even be able to charge in 30 minutes or less if you can find an outlet powerful enough.
+PINGPONGROCKSBRAH I agree. The Tesla battery pack is more of an ideal battery solution. The Leaf battery is not suited well for high temp environments, cycles poorly, and really should be water cooled to improve their life. Early Leaf packs experienced very short service life, and I'm not sure the newer models have gone to a LiCO battery. It's my understanding the Leaf uses LiFePO4 batteries. Most likely for cost reasons. I really wish this design was better thought out and designed to last. The NCR18650B panasonic batteries used in the Tesla are far superior to the Leaf's pack.
+skyBridgeConcept I've already looked at that page and I know how batteries work. But there are substantial differences in the approach that Nissan takes to battery construction vs the approach that Tesla takes.These differences are in cell selection, cooling systems, pack balancing, safety systems, and many others.
+PINGPONGROCKSBRAH The point of the video was disassembly. If you want to know about the pack, I suggest you go here://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/?title=Battery_specsAs how it works, it's pretty simple, it's a battery and it works by having cathode and anode and creating a potential difference between the terminals. I don't think it's much different between other car batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are getting better by the day and obviously the newer cars will have better chemistry.

+draggonhedd Nope I will build new shafts soon but I don't have any kicking around so I will try it a bit with these then use these as reference to build the new shafts. I hurt the outer CV when I tried to take it apart. The inner is a Nissan CV and the outer is a Honda CV so it was a challenge for sure. I think they need to be 1/8-1/4" shorter as well.
Very few folks have worked harder or learned more to make the wheels of a
car spin!
Congratulations my friend, and I'm so excited to get one hotrodding my Rav4
EV!
Your efforts will forever place a branch in the future of EV hotrodding. Wrecking yard LEAF and soon enough GM Bolt transaxles will become the next K20 or LSx swap replacement option in kitcars and most any EV someone wishes to convert thanks to your determination and amazing project focus. You are an inspiration to me, thank you for being so awesome my friend!
+Luke Workman Thanks. Luke. I would not be here if it was not for you. So much help in so many ways. I remember you about 7 years ago you handing me 6 monster mosfets and I brought them home and blew them all up but one. You can have it back if you like.... :) Its been a long road but its a good one. This has been the most challenging thing in my life and I think I can say its most likely the hardest thing I will ever attempt to learn. Although I'm still learning and always will be I have rounded a corner where I can now feel the force!
