The 2019 replacement idea is too little increase for what I'd expect to be a very high cost for the battery when they do start to come up. The salvage dealers in the UK seem to expect a very high price for salvage batteries! Might be a good option for a high mileage car with a depleted capacity...

Just been thinking about the possibility of swapping out the original battery cells for the larger capacity LEV50 cells from the i-miev as they are physically exactly the same format to my knowledge. Anyone any thoughts on this? Are they a compatible chemistry? Never mind, scrap that idea...

Whereas I personally welcome this, it's a complete red herring regarding preserving future value. Just as today almost nobody will run to the expense of fitting a new engine to a 15 year old car (worth £1500 tops?) that might otherwise be in perfect condition, this will be the future case with...

You're probably right, just thought as there was no "N" designation at the end, they might be the previous chemistry, but I've no idea really!

Ah well, thanks for finding that confirmation, looks like they might be the old school pre "N" series also! Well that would explain why they're keeping well away from the top and bottom!

Hi all, I very much suspect that the battery in our PHEV's is in fact made up of LEV50N (50Ah) cells and de-rated to 40Ah for long life: http://donar.messe.de/exhibitor/han...yuasa-li-ion-battery-datasheet-eng-295494.pdf After searching I can't find any info on a 40Ah version of the cell, I'm...
