Yes Yes, I did a DIY battery swap. It was a very good experience and Donut treated me very well! [/USER]

It might be a good idea to join the Facebook page called BMS_u029/BMS_u018. There is a lot of talent there including Recell. Ask the question and I'm sure you will get some good answers

If WK057 cant help contact donut auto in NorCal. He can steer you in the right direction. He has a sister shop that might be able to help as well.

LOL that is awesome! I know that @wk057 can help you with the firmware and config portion of your journey!

I am sure it can be done and Jason at 057 tech does this all the time. A good place to start would be to give him a call.

This is beautiful!

I think toolbox and or other methods would be needed for an unlike battery swap. The best person to contact would be 057 tech! They can steer you in the right direction. They do this regularly!

There was a lot of support from the members here on TMC. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing. I used the Tesla manual to the tee for removal and replacement of the pack! Then with all the support here and Facebook I was able to have a success story! Thank you all!

Guys! Big shout out to Donut Auto parts, 057 tech, recell, and all you guys! Thank you team for all the support! The car is fully functional! I could not have done it without your support

Thank you guys! I still haven't figured it all out but I did drop the pack, check the connectors for damage (no damage), clean the connectors, and put a small amount of dielectric greese on the connectors for ease of seating. I'm getting ready to power up

I'm on board with you 100% . Clean 12v power. I will isolate as mentioned above and give it another shot! I will follow up with pictures! I REALL appreciate your knowledge and willingness to help! Is there any way for a non customer like myself to leave you a review on you business page?

Absolutely!

Firs off thank you for the replies! I appreciate all who have contributed! I am going to drop the battery, clean the connectors, and bring the car to my house where cell and internet aren't spotty. I have had a few failed software updates wich I contribute to spotty data stream.

Ya I had this as well. It confused me

This kind of confused me. Does tis indicate CAN communication? It is also displaying 70% charge now and previously it would only display 15%

Interesting. Also it had this error

Awesome. Thank you for the reply. I will demate and clean all the connections. I have been following the tesla procedures to the tee! I really appreciate your help. I will drop the pack and let you know how it goes! Thanx again!

On a positive note I got it from Donut auto and thay were great. It is now showing 70% charge where as I was limited to 15% charge previously. I am pretty capable of doing the work safely having worked at an aircraft company doing instrumentation for the last 13 years. My car is MCU 1. Will TTB2...

As to your guys recommendations I just did a day hv battery swap instead of trying to repair the old one. I swapped an 85kwh to an 85kwh battery. If the car reports a bms version mismatch does this mean the car sees the pack and can communicate with the battery? It also says bms mia. Here is...

Awesome will try this!

I am going to try a battery swap myself as well! I found a company in Northern CA that is a tesla automotive dismantle company. They are called Doughnut auto parts. The people are great and helpfull. They have access to perform battery swaps. Now to start the process and check out the battery. I...
