Hello guys, Thanks for the feedback.
I have sold the battery solution, as we are going sailing for a long time.. (at least one year, maybe more)
But everything is still working, and many have copied this setup. I have provided about 30+, Nissan Leaf batteries, mainly to Germany.
In the...
Yes, I leave a little headroom both on top and bottom.
How much can be adjusted on the fly on the BMS.
Also the inverter is programmed for seasonal variations.
It will use more potential of the battery in the summer, compared to the winter.
Yes, we are passing 50 000 electric cars here soon in this small country.
Nissan Leaf is nr one, and Tesla nr two.
And as mentioned, there can be some difficult driving conditions here.
Might be cruel but i am hoping for a very slippery winter ;)
I know a guy who did this.
All you need to to is change the BMS from the old pack in to the new one.
Then you don't need to go to Nissan at all.
But of course it will have to be the same generation battery pack.
I have already taken apart 4 of these battery packs and the BMS is easily...
Lithium batteries can be put together in parallel in very endless numbers.
Just look the Tesla battery.
If i were to change it in to two strings of 5 in parallel, i would need two BMS`s.
Would not make any sense.
Rack, wheels, shelfs and fan: 2000 dollar.
BMS, fuse and contactor: about 1100 dollar
50 mm2 cabling: 220 dollar
Inverter, display, about 4400 dollar.
Prices are only estimates from the top of my head.
Most of this can be done a lot cheaper.. especially the rack parts as its easy to find cheap...
I now got hold of two more battery packs from two crashed cars.
But at the moment I am not going to expand my current setup as I think 30KWH is enough.
So probably I will sell them, and help others build something similar.
Actually, Nissan Leaf is one of the most sold car in Norway at the moment and its been very popular from when it came in 2011.
We are soon passing 50 000 electric cars, and most of them are Nissan Leaf. Tesla nr 2.
Some of them are bound to crash, like any other car i guess ;)
Here they have...
The cell that are left over are already sold, with a nice profit.
Actually, the local dealer have one more crashed car coming in next week.
He has my number, so we may make another deal. But i think the price will be higher this time ;)
