How will an SDU go with 10 Tesla modules?

Hi guys

How would a vintage VW single cab truck go with a Tesla SDU and just 10 x 5.3kWh modules?

The intention is definitely non-performance, just light duties, etc. Does the SDU operate down to 200V?

There are mods possible so that you re configure the cell configuration of such pack to a higher voltage en lower peak amps.

I think to recall that 200 is arround the limit.

I thought it was a hell of a job to modify Tesla modules? Would prefer to avoid that if possible.

Mainly want to know a definitive source of minimum operating voltage for a SDU?

HSR Motors website lists it as 240V...?

So the logic board itself doesn't care, it would attempt running even at 10V. You will see roughly halved performance at 200V vs. the stock 400V.

Checkout the VW ID3 modules. High density andere when using the high voltage ones a nice pack comparable to the Tesla pack
