Hi all,
I am setting up a battery system with very similar LG Chem/Renault cells as the original poster of this thread with a Orion2 BMS.
The in-depth description of the original battery can be found here:
Renault Master/Kangoo/Zoe 36kWh Battery
Out of the 12 modules (3 kWh per module, made of 8 cells), I am using 8 modules (24 kWh) in a Renault Twingo. I have now set up the Orion2 BMS (visible in the picture on the bottom left side.
As it is my first time working with the Orion, I would be grateful if some knowledgeable people could have a quick look at the setting and confirm if everything is OK.
My first question is this screen here (initial setup). Do I need to fill in something in the selected battery cell (Profile Wizard) section at all? The problem is: This opens a drop-down with different pre-configured batteries, but no LG Chem or Renault pouch cells are available there. I have selected the Nissan option in this screen for the simple reason that it is probably the closest to my own cells, but of course not the same at all.
I am working with 8 modules in series with 8 cells each, so 64 cells. This is a live view at the single cells. In my eyes, the cells seem to identified OK. Anything dodgy to be seen here? Does the pack SOC make sense?
Here's the parameters screen:
...and here's some more parameters:
I would be very grateful if some expert could have a look into it. If somebody would be willing to offer (paid) assistance through TeamViewer to double check I would be a taker.
For readers in the States who are not familiar with the model: The battery resides in this Renault Twingo, a lovely French A-segment (subcompact) car with a microvan design first presented in 1992.
This car here was a test vehicle for the molten-salt (ZEBRA) battery in the 2000's and has recently been upgraded to a LG Chem Li-Ion battery system as described above.
Appreciate any comments or help on the Orion2 Setup (or of course other questions about the car, too).
Best regards,
Remi.
