Don't know what I was thinking.... Yea, the current goes THRU all the modules in series and each acts like a resistor dropping the voltage in doing so.

I was picturing a common buss-bar..... that's not series, but parallel.

Mind's eye pictured one thing, reality is something else.

Update... After over two years of waiting for my Squareback, I have come to the realization that it is money lost and it will never be delivered. :x

So, I am SELLING my remaining LEAF "Lizard" modules, relay, battery heater relay, safety disconnect and spare Prius inverter -> Please see the classified ad for details.

That's sad can't you find another car even if it's not the one you initially intended?

I can, but just the car will be $6k and likely need another $2k in repairs, which I don't have.
