Renault Zoe Battery Disassembly - LG Chem Modules - DIY EV Powerwall Solar

22kWh Renault Zoe battery containing LG Chem modules

Unlike some more common LG Chem modules (like the Bolt, Volt and Pacifica modules) there is little information online about these, so I thought I would share what I have learnt to other DIYers.

The disassembly process showed the amazing quality of this critical component. Even down to the finest details you could feel the quality you get from a huge design and manufacture team at an OEM. I'm sure I only scratched the surface of understanding the design choices the manufacturers made.

Let us know what you think, please share any additional information on, or applications of, these modules.

I take no responsibility for any actions you take related to the content of this video. Do not work with high voltage unless properly trained, do not use this video as reference for correct practice or procedure. Also, probably avoid using uninsulated screwdrivers to disassemble batteries...
