Nissan Leaf module middle terminal; carry current?

[JoeReal]

Hey guys, I have a pretty serious problem I need some help with-
I have a bad cell in one of my leaf modules... Long story. Can I use the center lead as a current carrying lead to use half the module as part of my pack? Thanks

From pics I have seen of the Copper connections inside the module, the middle tab has as much Copper (or very close) to the other + and - tabs so I'm thinking it's OK to use just half of the module. I'm a newby and I would do it :lol:

I guess that depends how much current you need it to carry as they definitely are not the same size as the main connects.
For a quick look, see here..( it may also depend on which gen modules you have ?)

Thanks for the links. The center leads are definitely smaller.. But it seems that the housing leads themselves are smaller, the actual pouch leads are the same size ad the main leads. Hmm, interesting. I would be very interested as to what the current carrying capacity of the center leads are.
I can't believe I can't find information on that. I guess I need to get better at googling lol

Thanks again,
Joe
