Looking for a battery pack, BMS, charger, etc. for a BMW E30 conversion, anything considered.

Since you're in Dublin, I would pay Kilcock dismantlers a visit as they are one of the closest approved EV and hybrid dismantlers about. Always have stock coming through. That's where I got all my drivetrain and batteries from. Another great one is Beatties dismantlers (Contact Calvin) up the north. I know there have been some group buys in the past on here getting stuff from them before. Again, specialise in EV and hybrid.

Thanks a million, I'll check them out. I'll be in the area tomorrow so that's very handy!

I have a full drive train from an env200, battery , motor inverter and 6kw charger

Finally got through to them today and apparently there's some guy from Carlow/Kilkenny who comes by once a month and buys all the batteries he has, and he just came by this week. I'll try again in a couple of weeks. Someone on here maybe?

That's interesting, I'm not sure anyone on here would need that many cells. They must be rebuilding packs for selling them somewhere or using them for renewable energy applications.

I'm based in ireland too and looking to get a HV pack, I'm open to different options

I ended up getting one from EVBreakers in Newry. Got a charger and i3 LIM too. Great guys, delivered to me for free.

What battery did you get in the end?

I got a 24kWh one from a Nissan Leaf. Got the charger too. All supported by openinverter. Just need to put it all together now.

Good to hear, you know what SoH?

Didn’t measure it but Calvin from EVBreakers said it still had 12 bars.
