Re: [WIP] 1986 Ex-Military Land Rover 110 - GS450H

I wondered about a cooling plate setup that didn't require alu machineing or welding. Something that could work on the outside of a battery box, but also be a sandwich plate style for between battery modules. Using the underfloor heating tube idea above, and simple 2mm or 3mm alu sheet, is there som...

I have been searching for a replacement module 4 from a SR 55kWh Tesla Model 3 battery (four short length modules). Interested if you come across one and willing to split packs

Hi Muehlpower,
I did thanks, and I've sent an inquiry. Price per module is too high for me. Others I found won't split the pack. But will keep trying. Thanks

More Batteries!!! Thanks to Marty on the forum here, I got hold of a BMW X5 24kWh pack :) Still trying to hunt down shorter length Tesla Model 3 module for the other pack, but in the mean time I wanted a handy smaller pack that was easily controlled and a working BMS option for testing and getting ...

I have a SimpBMS and just got a 24kWh X5 pack too. Are there many changes to the BMWPhevBMS to get it working with the X5 pack? Is it mainly around identifying the extra modules on the CAN bus?

Re: I bought a BMW 330e hybrid battery pack - Now What?

I will have a BMW pack arriving soon and had a query about the temperature control units the batteries sit on. So I believe these use a refrigerant gas, via a heat exchanger...but do they look like they'd handle coolant liquid as an alternative!!!? Maybe the cross sections and seals don't suit

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3

Did you do any testing with the X5 pack s-box to see if it functions for pre-charge etc using the 330E/530E CAN work? And to check if it functions with the zombie integration?

Re: ID.3 and other MEB battery packs in conversions

I'm looking at using a VW ID4 82kWh pack. With the feedback on the forum here on potential for single cell issues and previous VW battery recalls, I'd like to be able to bring a test set up to the breakers to do some basic checks on the closed pack. Thinking I'll go with SimpBMS or EVS BMS for the p...

Yes, I've not found one yet. Tried a few options but they want to sell the full pack, not individual modules. Investigating VW ID modules as a change in direction too

I was warned by a friend with experience that that way only 75% of capacity could be used and that there is more chance of cell death Thanks arber333. Do you know if the lower capacity was to do with thermal management or just the way the cells work? Fellten look to sandwich a cooling plate between...

Are there users who have mounted VW MEB 8S or 12S modules on their side in conversions? Was sure I read that this was not a good idea with these cell types but can't find it now. It does look like Fellten mount eight 12S modules vertically on their side in their universal 55kWh packs. This would all...

Thanks for the link. I'm hoping to find a cheaper option if possible. EVBreakers in Ireland were looking ~£600/700 but the modules I need are already gone unfortubately.
