In some ways, it’s a lot easier than swapping an engine. In other ways, it’s harder.

      Everyone uses coolant not refrigerant which requires a license to touch

          Who else is putting refrigerant directly into the battery?

          Every other battery teardown I have seen is coolant into the battery.

            Pretty much all of them? It’s called a battery chiller. Have yourself a web search.

              That is not using refrigerant in the battery directly.

              The coolant is chilled with the refrigerant external to the battery and then that chilled refrigerant is cycled through the battery. It is a much better design.

              Have yourself a web search.
