Made in Japan from Nissan for LEAF EV CAR

Maximum voltage 4.2V per cell
90% of the capacity voltage - 4.2-3.7V

Each module contain 4 prismatic cells,
connected 2S2P
Each prismatic battery has rated capacity
30A/h and 3.8V nominal voltage
System Voltage84 Volts
Charger
Elcon PFC1500
universal input voltage for J1772 level 2
charging, and 110v standard North American
outlet opportunity charging.

I have 2 1500w chargers, will start with one,
may add the second one later if I add more
batteries. (Sold the Second Charger to raise
$$ for more parts)
HeaterWhat heater? Suck it up princess!
DC/DC ConverterVicor V72B15E250BL2
It is a V72B15E250BL2

72v nominal input (43-100v input range)
15v 250w output ( voltage can easily be
trimmed down with a single resistor. I will
trim it to 13.8 probably )

Running Total=$ 2900.00

Tires & Misc Bike parts <=> $500

Single Sided Swingarm - $Don't want to talk
about it!

Sold a bunch of old parts from donor +$400

Target of <=> $4k(max $5k) for the the whole
project.

Might add another $1290 of batteries at a
later date.
Additional FeaturesLED lighting
Custom BMS
Custom Sub Frames and Bodywork
Fun paint (vs. boring flat black)

Single sided swingarm for extra cool factor.
Bought! and shipped at considerable expense form Greece to Canada.
Bike is currently under construction. I'm aiming to hit the
streets Summer 2019

. 12/15/2014 - Bought chargers, added info.

. 6/01/2015 - Charger and battery pack assembled and working, I
bought a single sided swingarm and need to have some custom
bushings
made to mount it to my frame. Working on the rear fairing which I
needed to determine the build of the rear sub-frame. Traded up to
a much smaller DC-DC converter.
Need to pick up a few things like lights, but pretty much all of
the components are in the garage. I have a chain of events that
have to happen in order for me to get it complete.

. Fall 2018 - After moving fall 2015, and spending 3 years
singlehandedly rebuilding a 130 year old farmhouse, I should
finally have time this winter to complete the bike.
