I offer two 9kWh Passat GTE 8x module blocks with cooling blocks and BCM with each.
For each block i made wiring to connect to SimpBMS Teensy 3.2.
I offer each battery block of 8 modules with functioning Simp BMS, wiring and LCD for 1100€ + shipping.
Location is Slovenia EU. If you have pickup option i can adapt...
Some photos and demonstration of application

Hi,
I've read the article. The Passat GTE 9kWh battery using SimpBMS looks quite good

I have a further question: What is the current remaining capacity of the battery in percentage?

I am not sure. Never tested. I was using those cells as Ampera extender throughout the year and in winter i removed it in my workshop for use as a test pack. Pack never went below 3.3V per cell because Ampera stops discharge at 30% SOC.
I will try to find a way to discharge the pack to 3V per cell and charge it back to 4.1V per cell and probably record energy transfered.
I could wire them in paralell for 8P12S using solar inverter and get 2kw water heater and spend kW to heat up 300L of water

What could possibly go wrong.

I had a lot on my hands lately... i will test capacity soon and it is not expected to be less than 8kWh.
If anyone is interested to buy as is i can tweak the price for EU at 900€ + shipping for 8 modules with functioning Simp BMS, wiring and LCD
I have two of the packs available here.
