Main Traction Battery Upgrade i-MiEV

[puh]

Hi Chris,

I paid $3,681 for 93 cells including tax and shipping in April. The car uses 88 cells. The rest were spares.

You need to consider the risk and safety precautions of dealing with high voltages. In addition, the pack rebuild is a lot of work. My son is working on some step by step instructions for the process. I will post a link here when he is satisfied with the content.

Our car is working just fine and I'm pleased with the result.

Thank you very much for this brilliant guide on replacing battery cells, your efforts are hard to overstate!

I would like to clarify - have you tried to get a special discount on the price of the cells on alibaba?

Because now the price seems to have increased significantly...
