Bosch Aftermarket has collaborated with TV mechanic Edd China, to help demystify the process of replacing faulty battery components on EV's, with the production of a new YouTube video.
Wheeler Dealer’s star Edd uses Bosch training techniques and tools, to show how to safely replace a faulty battery component on a Nissan Leaf. The video demonstrates that what may seem like a daunting task, can be relatively straightforward with the appropriate precautions, knowledge and equipment.
In the video, Edd explains that expensive battery replacement, or even writing off an EV, can often be avoided by a relatively simple fix. In this instance, the problem is a welded contactor fault, attached to the EV battery. In the video, Edd shows step-by-step, how to confirm the fault and safely prepare the car to be worked on. He then shows how to remove the battery and replace the contactor. He goes on to complete the repair and test the system, all the time using Bosch diagnostic equipment and tools.
