You might cook the battery by doubling the charge rate....

Definitely will shorten its life.

What's your rush? A 13 hour charge overnight takes you from zero SoC to 100%.

You'll be fine upgrading your charger, as long as you ensure that over-temp and over-voltage limits are still adhered to. If you set the output on the second charger to perhaps 3.9 Vpc, that should ensure the OE OBC is solely responsible for the last ~20% of charging.

As you've likely discovered on the Leaf forums, the Brusa charger is one popular upgrade. Best bang for the buck would be a 10 kW gen 2 Tesla charger with the open source controller from Damien Maguire, if you can find space to package it (and requisite cooling loop).

That’s a great solution. Just spent the last few hours watching his videos and reading the wiki about the Tesla obc. Definitely the way I’ll go. I’m thinking it should be quite easily implemented with all the documentation about cooling and such using the brusa parts. Thanks again for the help!
