Have you reverse engineered the leaf BMS such that you can tap in to the cell monitoring and balancing, or is your microcontroller going to handle all those functions?

Yeah, that is this thread:

Everything is still a work in progress...

Since I can't really test the system as a whole until it is all done.

Then I would really like to put some miles on it before I feel comfortable selling it to others. (make sure all the bugs are worked out).

There is a 5pk on ebay for $27.50
Search for "TPL-BH"
...
This is the BMS that sits on top of the battery module:

Cool.. I actually found those same fuses and asked the guy if he could make me a six pack for $30.

So that thing is actually a BMS? I have quite a few of those! You think I can just "plug one in" to the top of one of my modules and it balance the cells?

I am not sure, I only have really played with the Nissan Leaf BMS...
There are probably other threads on here that cover the Volt BMS.

Any testing or progress to report on your power controller?
