Silly question time 😋
And probably getting ahead of myself fought up with with fine details

Assuming we are successful .... Since some these batteries are not all going to be 96s out of the box as I expect they will be made up of for example BMW 330e which are only 5 modules each could I ask the following :

im assuming that the 5 modules packs would be kept as is ?
the extra module would be loose?
if in my case i have put down for 12 that would be 2 x 5 module packs, would we be trying keep the loose modules from the same (3rd) pack?
Could we have the option [depending on availability] to buy in my case lets say 15 modules instead of 12? [so i could either run 112s2p (plus spare) or 80s3p]

it doesn't really effect anything just curious really.

NOTE: Edited as old question was a little off
Rule 1 of EV Club is don't buy a rust bucket....
Which rule does everyone forget 🤪

Perhaps not, but It's worth me asking a freight agent

I want to go for 18 modules if it is still possible.

Could pick them up somewhere in the Netherlands/NW Germany.

I was going to wait until my car is running but at this price I can't say no so put me down for 40kWh.
If it helps I live in Co. Armagh and own a van so willing to collect for others and bring into UK or Ireland for as near cost price as I can make it. Depending on where the container is landed of course.
I need a bigger hammer!

Is there any time frame on when this might move forward or do we still need more volume?

Hi I'm new here, but interested in 12 modules - depending on the feasibility of shipping to Australia.

I think there may be other Aussies who are looking at shipping as a group?

Michael, I am also one of the interested Australians.

I'd be interested in 36 modules.

Seems like there is some progress and the commitments should be in by the end of this week. If there are any peeps who want to join, please do so now and any current committers please think about your needs and whether they have changed. If all who are committed also please send me your e-mail addresses via PM so I can take further communication off the forum and make things happen faster.

Thank you all for you patience and engagement!

Was it established whether they are going to be the old or new generation? It looks like if they are the old ones the energy density is way less than any of the other modules out there, which would make it a non starter for me.

Just out of interest has anyone gauged the power density?
How many Amps can these Gen3 or Gen4 packs provide pulsed?
34Amp hours Capacity. So safe C rate?

The main fuse seems to be 200amps so that’s around 6c.

I read earlier in the thread that Damien was interested for Lexus/Toyota inverter application? Doesn’t that inverter want 450+amps from the battery sometimes? Would that be ok if you ran 2 packs in parallel (custom fuse and Contactors and buss bars to handle the current)

As full voltage pack is about 9kWh you’d most likely want to parallel 2-3-4-5 or so packs. So this should be no problem at all.
