Re: DIY storage battery from BEV cells
hi all, There has been some developments in the last couple of weeks. I received the inverter and commisioned it. Also received the Kia BEV battery modules. The set contains 10 modules - 8 x 10S3P (30 cells) and 2 x 9S3P (27 cells). The total amount is 294 cells. Tearing down the modules is very eas...

Re: DIY storage battery from BEV cells
@diyfan Is your existing PV system a fit one ? If so, I recommend that you leave it well alone, and add this battery system completely independent to it - otherwise it gets very complex. You’ll have to make a G99 application I think, most probably to be successful this must be with a G100 compliant...

Re: DIY storage battery from BEV cells
Hi @Stinsy, I don't think I follow you at all. Do you mean I should build a single 14S20P 51V/1200Ah battery and use it with just a balancer in place of BMS? I must be misunderstanding you because it would be very unsafe to operate such battery :D Would you be able to elaborate on your thoughts? Wh...

Re: Thermal Camera
I own Seek Compact Pro add-on camer (USB-C). It has 320x240 native resolution and manual twist focus. I think it is a pro that it is add-on type vs self contained devices. It is very lightweight and if dropped no big deal. But if the actual dedicated unit or a phone gets damaged then the WHOLE thing...

Re: DIY storage battery from BEV cells
Hi @joeboy Thank you, I will check out the link, and will also consider the cells from China. But what would be an advantage over BEV cells? As for 8KW, this is purely from economical standpoint. The faster I can pump power between the batteries and grid, the bigger is earning potential. I am on Oct...

Re: DIY storage battery from BEV cells
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, this is really a strong encouragement for me to charge ahead. I have some experience in smaller scale solar, battery and electronics projects but the scale I am looking at now will come with new challenges. So let me share some more detail and I would apprec...

DIY storage battery from BEV cells
Hi all, I am thinking of purchasing a complete BEV battery from ebay and rebuild it to fit a hybrid PV inverter, with a view to take advantage of Octopus Flux tariff, ie charge up cheap at night rate (or free from solar) and discharge to grid at peak rate. This will generate some income and would pa...
