Nissan Leaf Budget Battery Upgrade [ZE0, 24kWh-30kWh]

So here it is. Extreme Budget Battery Upgrade. This time my company car, the ZE0 Leaf, gets a fresher 2017 AZE0 30kWh batterypack. This video is not a complete step-by-step video, (there are already great videos on this subject, see EVs Enhanced video for instance) but this video will give you the basic info needed when doing a budget battery upgrade using Dala's CAN-bridge solution.

CAUTION: Always check your local legislation for what certifications are required when handling high voltage (the bright orange bits!). Failure to comply with safety standards could result in serious injury/death. And nobody wants that!

Service plug, incase new battery is missing it (297C1-3NF0A),
Rear-bolts (01125-N0111),
Brackets, if you don't want to drill the old ones (740D0-3NF1A)
