I have been busy rearranging the architecture of my 3 PHEV kits. I moved one Enginer 4KWH battery pack and two 48V chargers into the tyrewell. I...
My Enginer kits only supply about 15amps each at best, they are trickle chargers. They are really just range extenders. So at any time my DC...
BMS2 will only work with a Prius Gen2. It can use a 230V lithium pack add on that connects directly in parallel with the Prius OEM NiMH battery...
If you are going to use lead acid batteries forget using Enginer kit. I would just install 20 x 12v batteries in series and use it with a BMS2...
Actually Norms latest BMSplus version 2 or "BMS2" does not need a Canview. The voltage can be set via dip switches on the PCB. It only has three...
Along as none of the cells do not go over 3.8v is good enough for me. It does not have to be perfectly top balanced. At the HVC end of the...
You are transferring data via a bluetooth device to your computer to isolate noise or induced EMF and to keep isolation of 230Vdc floating above...
Hi Planetaire, Could you show us a photo of your lithium//NiMH contactor and HRC fuse, where they are located. Thanks.
Good find but too late for me. Cheap as chips!! Should be a good cheap option for Mr Plug-in.
I was reading through the plug-in website. It still states that you must stop to leave EV mode. I was under the impression that when using the ECM...
Thanks for the close up. You have inspired me to start building each 14 cell bank enclosure out of Perspex as I have a plentiful supply at work....
Xueming is now selling them with full size tabs....
If you are good at carpentry you could have used dovetail joints to join your enclosure pieces.
Hi Planetaire, I did not see these two photos until now. It looks really neat. It appears that each battery bank has to slide in sideways to...
No. If they were you would have a fan to cool down the Lifepo4 pack during normal operation. My personal road to A123 cells will stay in this...
NiMH is a different chemistry. You are comparing apples with oranges. What happenened with your NiMH add on packs? Are you still using them? Are...
If your cells become overcharged due to a faulty BMS you may as well kiss them goodbye. There are no certainties.
I have only known pouch cells to expand when they are being overcharged. Hopefully with a good BMS this should not happen. And generally when they...
I guess when you look at a 10kwh http://www.pluginsupply.com/ pack at $10995 it just seems to be a blatant rip off. Or $5500 for a PIS 4kwh kit.
I agree, even with having 72 resistors to shunt each cell takes up a lot of room for the resistors themselves and their cooling. Space which could...
