Using prius battery isolation for charge socket isolation ?

Post by Mouse »

Have I missed something important or can a Prius / Lexus or Auris etc main battery isolator & precharge module be used for charge socket isolation ?
I'm thinking of using Type 2 socket and maybe CCS of some sort which all depends how the project actually goes when I get to that part. However need to plan space for the bulky hardware in advance so all the vital bits can be accommodated properly.

Mainly thinking this idea because they are very reasonably priced and appear to be available because the battery repair people have a surplus of them from the battery modules they harvest cells from.
They are also very compact which is a major consideration for my project.

This is what I am going to use - since it's 220v ac mains thats going through the contacters TO the inverter.

Will try to wire it up as neatly as possible to keep it compact, but it's not much bigger than Prius Relay Pack. I have to add a Precharge Resistor ( going for same as DC - 68Ohm/100W). Cross fingers..

Thanks,
I didn't spot this thread earlier when I had a quick look for similar stuff.
I'll read it and join in on the conversation there rather than have two threads running on a similar thing.
