12. What cell is used in the battery pack or battery module of the Nissan Leaf/BMW i3 on the VIVNE website? Is it brand new?

VIVNE uses brand new A grade ternary lithium cell,the cell chemistry is NMC.

13. How is the cooling system for your EV batteries?

About Leaf battery pack cooling, the original factory design is radiation passive cooling, that is natural wind cooling. The motor of Leaf is not big, whose peak power is 80kw and peak current is 250A. The original factory pouch cell is 67Ah (24kwh), so it bear 4C discharge rate. We replace it with most up-to-date CATL high density cell, for example 120Ah cell, then it bears only 2C discharge rate. Besides, the new model high density cell can bear higher current while generate less heat, so that passive radiation cooling is sufficient, no need active cooling system. Also, the active cooling system, e.g. water cooling system, is high cost and strict in manufacture process. It is not necessary and not economical to install active cooling system, both from cost perspective and practical considerations. For example, the motor of Tesla is mostly above 200kw power, it must consider adding water cooling. Leaf battery fast charge power is 47kw, at maximum current of 150A. If we use CATL 120Ah high density cell, the charging rate is only 1.3C. It is normal for new model high density cell.

About the e-NV200 and BMW i3 batteries, the cooling function availability depends on your original vehicle. If your original car is equipped with cooling system so it works normally; otherwise, it does not include cooling.


14. If I buy a battery pack, can I install it directly on my Leaf?

In terms of hardware, it is completely OK. It does not need to change any structure of the vehicle when you install it. We use the original battery case and accessories (BMS/ relay module/temperature sensor/service socket, etc.) of Nissan Leaf AZE0&ZE1, which can be installed on ZE0/AZE0/ZE1 models. If you plan to order the whole package, please remark your model (ZE0/AZE0/ZE1) in the order.

15. Is VIVNE’s BMS original? Does VIVNE sell BMS?

VIVNE does not sell BMS, only provides BMS exchange service.
Stock availability: BMS ships with the battery if in stock,after installing the new battery you must return your old original BMS. No stock means you need to send your original BMS to us beforehand for our engineers to program.
Originality & quality: Our BMS are original, sourced from second-hand disassembled parts, we will test the BMS to ensure that the function is intact.
Compatibility note: For Leaf’s S/SV/SL/LEAF PLUS versions, full compatibility isn’t guaranteed. In case of incompatibility, please install your original BMS into the new battery pack, VIVNE after-sales staff will offer guidance on request.
We always recommend prioritizing your vehicle’s original BMS.

16. Can I use another company's BMS?
