Re: WANTED: Tesla Model S BMS tap boards

No longer needed, figured out the Tesla slab uses standard JST 5 pin and 7 pin connectors. So I will just buy a bunch of those for peanuts. Connected to my spare JK BMS this morning and the pack is balancing away:

Re: Wanted: electric car [SOLD]

Yep the car drives fine. Hookup any battery over about 115V plus a 12V battery and the car drives, everything electric works, no warning lights on the dash, etc. I had hoped that was the car sorted for me then, but alas the NCT said no.

Re: Wanted: electric car [SOLD]

What happened to the red arrow? The car failed the NCT with work needing done, including some structural stuff that I can't handle. So I took out the BMW PHEV pack and the Brusa charger that I recently bought for the car and sold them to members on here that I met at the hackerspace meet in Dublin,...

Re: Wanted: electric car [SOLD]

Here's the correction :-) I had the 27 year old Red Arrow (officially converted to electric - motor tax €120 per year) insured as a classic car with FBD. It was obviously not a daily driver. For classic insurance you need to have normal insurance on a daily driver too. There usually are annual milea...

Wanted: electric car [SOLD]

I know it's a long shot, but you never know. I'm in Dublin, Ireland and I want an electric car conversion. Anything considered, but it: 1. Must be road legal in Ireland (NCT) 2. Must be at least 20 years old (so it qualifies for classic insurance) Range is not important, it doesn't have to have a ba...

Re: Dublin DIY EV Meetup at Tog Hackerspace 26/02/23

Hi, sure. The parts I have for sale are the battery pack, which is basically from a 2019 BMW 530e, a bit over 9kWh in 6 blocks. BMW uses the 6 blocks all in series for just under 400V fully charged, I used them 3 in series and 2 in parallel for just under 200V And the Brusa on board charger, this is...

Keep away from the Champers until you are home. Regards to everyone Stephen Thanks Stephen. Unfortunately the Red Arrow didn't pass the N...

[SOLD] BMW 530e plug in hybrid battery pack

Bought only a few weeks ago, used it for about 40-50km in the car. Working great, lots of power and very low voltage sag. I took the 6 modules out and took the BMS boards off them and I had to cut a few of the internal cables, but all the parts that I didn't use are still in the box. This is the 9kW...

Haven't much luck sourcing a BMW PHEV pack in Ireland. And no time to go pick one up from the UK. The DIY EV meetup is on in a bit over 3 weeks, I would like to bring the Red Arrow. Also the car is booked in for the NCT that week too. Any help appreciated, anyone know of some cells / a pack for sale...

Kilcock dismantlers have a BMW PHEV 9kWh pack if anyone is interested. They want €1500, not budging. Yeah, good luck with that.

Re: Wanted: battery for the Red Arrow

Cheers guys, yes seems to be the newer pack with 354V * 34Ah = 12kWh, even says so on the label 16S * 3.7V * 6 packs = 354V Good value then for what it is! Pre-brexit I've been to the UK to import cars several times, but the pack wouldn't be so cheap if I had to pay 10% import duty and 23% VAT over ...

Re: Wanted: battery for the Red Arrow

Cheers Ev8, that pack from a 330e is not suitable though. It has 5 internal packs in series, with total voltage too high for the Red Arrow. That's why I need a pack from a 530e / 740e which has 6 internal packs, which I can split up in 3S2P Not sure who marked this thread as [SOLD], did I do that by...

Re: Wanted: battery for the Red Arrow

Budget is not that strict Matt, I'd be happy to pay the going rate for a PHEV pack, target is about €100 / kWh. I don't need much range as it's a Dublin car for local trips, so the smaller the pack the better really. Also competing less with others. The 12kWh BMW PHEV packs are much higher sought af...

Wanted: battery for the Red Arrow

Time for a bit of a change. I've had my fun with the Valence green 20V packs, spent a lot of time with various balance chargers and bench chargers patching them up. The bad packs have gone to a guy in Cavan taking them apart and building a power wall with the good cells from them. All the good packs...

Brusa NLG513 Software

Hi all, first post here :)

I'm looking for the chargestar software for the above charger. I have sent Brusa an email as I gather they are very helpful, but surely some of you will have that software saved somewhere?

Thanks in advance!
