    SOLD: Set of 50 pieces of Mini BMS For Sale Hi Guys, I have a set of 50 pieces of Mini BMS (distributed BMS) available for sale. The units were removed from a working application (electric vehicle) and were traded to us as part of a technology upgrade (they upgraded to an OrionBMS). In any...
  5. Batteries and Charging
    Is just impossible to find a BMS for LiFePO4 so I decided to design one for my Off Grid house. It is specific for my needs so max 8 cells in series and can use solar PV panels up to 40A to charge the battery. I have 8 cells 100Ah GBS not that great in therm of discharge rate but more than enough...

    I have a great set of lithium ion battery packs and other components that I just removed from my converted motorcycle. The packs are in perfect working condition, but the motor on the bike seized and I didn't want to replace it. Instead, I am looking to get rid of the parts and start a new...
  7. Batteries and Charging
    I am looking to maximise ability to go up steep hills in a regular size car, say 1200-1600kg, minimise battery weight, and not fussed about range as my total commute is only 30km. Using a Warp 9 DC motor I understand that for acceleration I need to maximise battery pack voltage to 144V+, but...

    So, I am doing an experiment with my EV conversion. I have a BUNCH of lithium batteries taken out of laptops. They are the same kind used in Tesla vehicles. Which charger would be best for me to use? I plan to use the batteries on a moped I am converting. The pack will need to be between 12v and...

  11. Batteries and Charging
    I would like to know what is the real deal behind the BMS, What does it exactly do? I've done a research on this forum, and a lot of people talks about it, but every body is saying something different... What are the real risk on the lithium batteries so we should use BMS? And is there a real...
  12. Batteries and Charging
    I'm starting an experiment to test the effects of using lithium LiFePO4 cells in parallel with cheapo lead acid batteries. Lithiums are 40 AH Calbs, and they'll be boosting 29HMs (formerly known as 29DC) and GC8s. My current frankenpack consists of 3 29HMs and 11 GC8s. Phase 1 of FLHE will...
  13. All EV Conversions and Builds
    Hi all, I have just joined the forum after reading through a lot of the information and material provided on this site and its links. An EV conversion looks like great fun (and about enough hard work to keep it interesting). So as per the suggestion: Your skill level with auto mechanics and...
  14. Batteries and Charging
    So, by now, I think many of you know I've been perusing the boards for awhile now. I've heard a lot of fanatics on either side of the argument. But to me, after crunching real numbers, and unfortunately only having access to a lot of anecdotal case studies, the case is not clear. It's quite grey...
  15. Batteries and Charging
    Hi, Ive been looking around for someone to sell batteries for some time now, and came across the site for 1-ev which apparently brings people together for a group buy. Does anyone know anything about this site? Are they legitimate and is this a logical and practical way of going about buying...
  16. Controllers
    hi guys, I'm struggling to understand if Kelly PM 48V controller can regen Lithium LiFePO4 or LiFeYPO4 batteries. I have an parallel hybrid boat with a 18HP diesel on the same axel as the PERM PMG132. I asked Kelly but I am very confused by the answer: - they replied that the regen tension is...
  17. Technical Discussion
    I'll use this 288V 160A/h battery pack, how could I get better range? using it like a two 144V packs in paralell, so I'll have 320A/h, so I'll have more output Amperage, or using it like one 288V battery pack? or is the same? (Batteryes are Lipo)
  18. Batteries and Charging
    Could someone explain me how do I calculate how fast is a charger going to charge my battery pack? I mean, I'll use some like a 375V pack with 100a/h (37500kw/h), and when I read the charger,(any kind), especifications I can't understand how to calculate o relate those especifications with...
  19. Batteries and Charging
    I'd like to convert my geo metro hatchback. From what I've read while it is a light car it is not necessarily ideal since it can not hold as much battery weight. I've read that the tesla uses 6000 or so aa similar lithium batteries. Why can't I use 1000 -1500 or so little AA lithium...
