Re: Gonna Go Lithium (I Think!)
If you use Leaf modules you have a couple of choices. You could use three of the 2016 double modules for a fully charged pack voltage of 50.4V usable down to 42V. These are 82AH rated modules. If you use the 2015 and earlier, you can use seven modules for pack voltage of 58.8V max, 60-62AH. You should have no issues with the higher pack voltage and stock components assuming everything is in good shape. That would be a DIY kit from EV Battery center, including BMS, charger and pack parts.
You would also need a 48-12V Reducer for accessories if not already installed.
You could not use the existing charger and you would toss the OBC.
Attached are a couple of test runs by EV Battery enter with their test cart 2012 RXV stock. 25miles with 60AH, 58V pack and 35 miles with 82AH, 50V pack.
