Re: Tesla MS battery 75 kWh - for sale

That's very cheap. There are 14 modules so just over €200 per module, or if you use 0.2C max, it has 80kWh capacity, so just €37.50 per kWh. I use a 2015 Model S 75 battery to power my home, I reckon it still has about 90-95% SOH

Re: 120Ah BMW i3 battery

zemil wrote: Fri Oct 25, 2024 6:46 am is a price per one module or all i3 battery?
I thought that was pretty obvious? :D

The battery is about 40kWh, so €100 per kWh makes the total asking price of €4000

Fair play for adding the asking price! You should do that on all your current and future ads though :-)

Re: BMW X5 24 kwh battery pack for sale

Hi m.art.y

It would help if you put up an asking price. In my experience of buying and selling stuff, it can prevent a lot of time being wasted for both buyer and seller

Tesla Model S battery modules 5.6kWh

I have two of these for sale, 5.6kWh each, would prefer to sell them together

One battery module is perfect, the other I accidentally bent one corner of the conductor plate when pulling it out from under a pile of them, which then snapped about a dozen of the tiny fuse wires. All 444 cells are fine ...

Re: WANTED: Tesla Model S BMS tap boards

No longer needed, figured out the Tesla slab uses standard JST 5 pin and 7 pin connectors. So I will just buy a bunch of those for peanuts. Connected to my spare JK BMS this morning and the pack is balancing away:

Re: Wanted: electric car [SOLD]

Yep the car drives fine. Hookup any battery over about 115V plus a 12V battery and the car drives, everything electric works, no warning lights on the dash, etc. I had hoped that was the car sorted for me then, but alas the NCT said no.

Re: Wanted: electric car [SOLD]

Here's the correction :-)

I had the 27 year old Red Arrow (officially converted to electric - motor tax €120 per year) insured as a classic car with FBD. It was obviously not a daily driver. For classic insurance you need to have normal insurance on a daily driver too. There usually are annual ...

Wanted: electric car [SOLD]

I know it's a long shot, but you never know. I'm in Dublin, Ireland and I want an electric car conversion. Anything considered, but it:

1. Must be road legal in Ireland (NCT)
2. Must be at least 20 years old (so it qualifies for classic insurance)

Range is not important, it doesn't have to have a ...

Re: Dublin DIY EV Meetup at Tog Hackerspace 26/02/23

Hi, sure.

The parts I have for sale are the battery pack, which is basically from a 2019 BMW 530e, a bit over 9kWh in 6 blocks. BMW uses the 6 blocks all in series for just under 400V fully charged, I used them 3 in series and 2 in parallel for just under 200V

And the Brusa on board charger, this ...

a Super gig all round, and many thanks to the Tog Hackerspace guys.
Last, but not least, hope the Red Arrow is on it's way home with a brand new NCT. Keep away from the Champers until you are home.

[SOLD] BMW 530e plug in hybrid battery pack

Bought only a few weeks ago, used it for about 40-50km in the car. Working great, lots of power and very low voltage sag. I took the 6 modules out and took the BMS boards off them and I had to cut a few of the internal cables, but all the parts that I didn't use are still in the box. This is the ...

Working great. I can also provide the ChargeStar software and can show you how to connect to it and program it

Great robust charger with the benefits that it is air cooled and you can use it without CAN messaging if you want

Cheers guys, yes seems to be the newer pack with 354V * 34Ah = 12kWh, even says so on the label

16S * 3.7V * 6 packs = 354V

Good value then for what it is! Pre-brexit I've been to the UK to import cars several times, but the pack wouldn't be so cheap if I had to pay 10% import duty and 23% VAT ...

Re: Wanted: battery for the Red Arrow

Cheers Ev8, that pack from a 330e is not suitable though. It has 5 internal packs in series, with total voltage too high for the Red Arrow. That's why I need a pack from a 530e / 740e which has 6 internal packs, which I can split up in 3S2P

Re: Wanted: battery for the Red Arrow

Budget is not that strict Matt, I'd be happy to pay the going rate for a PHEV pack, target is about €100 / kWh. I don't need much range as it's a Dublin car for local trips, so the smaller the pack the better really. Also competing less with others. The 12kWh BMW PHEV packs are much higher sought ...

Time for a bit of a change. I've had my fun with the Valence green 20V packs, spent a lot of time with various balance chargers and bench chargers patching them up. The bad packs have gone to a guy in Cavan taking them apart and building a power wall with the good cells from them. All the good packs ...
