Last week I drove to Canberra to pick up 50 modules. These modules had previously been used in a HV powewall (48 modules, 96 cells in series!). Estimated remaining capacity of around 16kwh. I will be testing these in time and then rebuilding the powerwall to incorporate all the newfound modules.
Today I took delivery of 28 more Nissan Leaf Gen 1 Modules from EV Drive in QLD. The modules came in four stacks of 7. Initial voltage readings were a mixed bag – one module sitting at 2.9v and a few others a ~5.9v. I was hoping to add all 28 modules to my powerwall,…
Not sure why, but I had the urge to make the system bigger even before it was live. On a bit of a spur of the moment purchase, I grabbed a complete Nissan Leaf pack from www.lithium-power.com.au for $3250 delivered from Perth. My first surprise was the seal. In many videos I had watched on…

For some time I have had a saved search with alerts enabled on my ebay phone app. About 2 weeks ago I went to bed early and while watching a video on my phone I was alerted to a new listing for local leaf cells. The listing was for 8 leaf cells for $400.00 (By…
In around August 2018, I stumbled across a complete Nissan Leaf pack – Only trouble was it was located in New Zealand. The price was fair enough, but after a lot of phone calls and emails, it all became too hard to economically ship it to Australia, so the search continues…
Hi, I’m David, and I plan to build a power wall.
