Re: High voltage LFP storage with Flying ADC BMS


I still have around 150 LFP cells from Polo lying around and to my surprise many of them still hold some charge. I bought them 2010 and they were grossly overcharged once. So the plan is to hook them all up in series and keep swapping cells until only the good ones are left.

I will probably end ...

Re: High voltage LFP storage with Flying ADC BMS

Nice project. I wait for the third sefl 144 cells :)
One ideeea is to have the BMSs on the fornt and all the balancer wires beetwe therminals.
Otherwise i won't trust so much in one layer of insulation to go acros terminals (top wright module ) or crosing +/- wires (bothom left module)

Re: Running Peugeot E208 modules with Battery-Emulator


The battery current measurement is missing with CATL modules, but some inverters do that alone. In this case, it is difficult to calculate a precise SOC, but with NMC chemistry, we can use battеry voltage for simple SOC calculation.


I alredy have done lot of tests wit open voltage SOC.

Re: Fox ESS H1-5.0-E ~33KW Peugeot E208

Hi. I was looking for a while and haven't found. From testing 3.3 to 4.15 is around 85% capacity. I tried lower to 3 V but I have a weak cell in one pack and after 3.3 is dropping to fast generating 250mV dV so I do stop testing.

Hope that is helpful.

hi,
thanks for replay Kevin.
I actually very happy now.

Hi guys!
Sorry to inform you but, look like a kill my FoxEss inverter or at least the CAN communication.
When I start the inverter is sending 1871 but when i try to send any response 1871 is not send any more the 1871 and the inverter doesn’t receive data even if I manually send them.
