Простите, я не понимаю английский. Но к увиденному у меня возникли вопросы. А вы учли те пару нюансов к аккумуляторным сборкам? 1) Ток идёт по наименьшему пути сопротивления. Какими идеальными небыли бы аккумуляторы, внутреннее сопротивление у них разное. И из-за этого, при зарядке сборки из тысяч аккумуляторов, больше половины аккумуляторов не зарядятся и до половины заряда, в то время как некоторые аккумуляторы уже будут в перезаряженном состоянии (заряд батареи выше нормы ). И в ходе эксплуатации, медленно но верно, один за другим, аккумуляторы будут выходить из строя, по пути наименьшего сопротивления. 2) Заряд аккумулятора и отдача энергии аккумулятором, происходят за счёт химического процесса происходящего внутри аккумулятора. В ходе этого химического процесса выделяется тепло. Аккумуляторы находящиеся в центре этой аккумуляторной сборки будут перегреваться, от перегрева они потекут, лопнут и вызовут короткое замыкание. Так что, первый вопрос - как вы будете контролировать уровень заряда каждого аккумулятора из тысяч аккумуляторов, что бы не допустить заряда аккумулятора выше нормы? Второй вопрос - как вы будете охлаждать аккумуляторы, особенно те которые находятся в центре?

В похожих сборках для машин Тесла блоки были сборные с одинаковыми хар-ми. К каждому блоку были подведены датчик и зарядник свой. Все блоки омывались трансформаторным маслом. У меня на шуруповерте стоит всего 3 таких аккумулятора и для них есть балансировка и датчик температуры. А ещё я сам паял такие аккумуляторы, после чего некоторые стали греться и умерли. Их нельзя вообще паять, а у автора половина блоков спаяно. В этом железном контейнере аккумуляторы перегреются на солнце и полыхнут аки ясно солнце. К тому же Б\У аккумуляторы такого типа вообще не имеют смысла т.к. по хар-кам они хуже новых свинцовых аккумуляторов, но гораздо требовательнее к балансировке и заряду. Короче, мужик лучше бы поставил деревянный домик и внутри за те же деньги свинцовые аккумуляторы было бы эффективнее, дешевле и больше было бы ёмкости.

@@AleksandrArtroom HBPowerwall говорит что - " Total max charge/draw is 0.33 amps per cell... issues disappear " - " Общая максимальная зарядка / потребление составляет 0,33 А на ячейку ... проблемы исчезают ". Реально, в сборках Тесла учли эти факторы и как то решили их - kzread.info/dash/bejne/hpiJ07OTc5XKk6g.html . 0.33 А на ячейку при зарядке , от части согласен, перегрев и перезарядка аккумуляторам не страшны с такими токами. А разрядка, чем он контролирует сколько отдает каждая ячейка? При разряде аккумуляторы тоже греются. + С такими токами, сколько дней будет заряжаться эта установка. " У меня на шуруповерте стоит всего 3 таких аккумулятора " - что это за шуруповёрт такой? В съёмном блоке от шуруповёрта там их 9 или 12 таких батарей. Или вы имеете ввиду мелкий шуруповёрт-отвёртку? В общем, что то не вызывает доверия данная установка. Производители ноутбуков в гарантийном талоне указывали, что гарантия на аппарат 1-2 года, а на АКБ гарантия пол года. Даже если не от перегрева или перегруза, то просто от срока годности эти аккумуляторы начнут выходить из строя. Ещё и Б/У аккумуляторы. У мужика реально слишком много свободного времени и денег заниматься такой фигнёй - паять 19000 батареек :)

There are some aspects of the mount I really do like, but I have serious reservations as well. The first is it seems the cells are being used as part of the mechanical structure (i.e. the weight of the pack is resting on the bottom cells). This could be asking for trouble especially when considering this second issue. A battery wall is a stationary object right? Well the unfortunate reality is this statement is only ~99.999% true. During an earthquake or other natural disturbance, I suspect there is a possibility the packs could simply fall out of the mount. Since we have little to no warning of when these types of events occur, this might pose a serious safety risk. I do like the simplicity of the design and how easy it is to swap packs in and out if needed, but the above concerns would force me to look for ways to modify it so they are addressed. Anyone have any ideas on improvements? If the mount was installed in an electrical enclosure, maybe the door could also act as a locking mechanism to prevent the bottom of the pack from kicking out? PS. Great job on using the shipping container...don’t think you’d have to worry too much about burning something down :) BTW, this is my single biggest fear with building a DIY power wall and still thinking through how to overcome it - unfortunately I don’t think my neighbors or wife would appreciate the shear beauty of a shipping container.

Man these rules are harsh, thankfully all my battery builds so far have been portable and as a result don't suffer from these new rules. Seems the best way to still make your own battery systems will be to make it in a big chest and put wheels on it, although that doesn't help if you want to make a powerwall integrated into a house's mains wiring (then again doing that without an electrician was already illegal). This situation seems similar to the FPV drone hobby. When the rules become so extreme that everyone is breaking at least one of them, it becomes easy to ignore them all together.

I would use stainless steel vs zinc plated fasteners to clamp together the terminal lugs. Also, toss in a conical washer on either side to accommodate for the expansion of the fasteners from heat. Add some Penetrox/Noalox/Oxguard, and you're golden!

Hotest i've seen for longer than an hour is about 50 but we have fan pumping around in there. I can work in there batteries should be fine

Dumb question. It has been suggested, over and over, that I put a BMS on my Chevy Volt cells, meaning, each 4.0 V cell, in every pack. Why wouldn't it be equally appropriate to put a BMS on each and every one of your individual cells ? or am I missing something ?

how many amps can you pull through one of those before thermal takeoff? only asking because i made one of these once, but upon hooking it to and inverter and powering a small flatscreen tv, the batterys got extremley hot and exploded.

I'm an American. You mentioned burying cable 600 deep. My first thought was cm. Then I realized that would be 6m which is nearly 20 feet deep. Certainly a safe depth, but unrealistic without heavy equipment. 600 mm, 60 cm, translates to 2 feet, a much more realistic, reasonable, and standard depth, even in the US.

I love what you did and I am building a 24-volt battery bank for a houseboat I am going to be building with solar panels. What I need to know is. Did you use any BMS for your battery bank, or did you just connect it to an MPPT charger? Also if you did use a BMS, how many amBMS would you suggest I get for my bank?

I like your new battery box. One thing I would like to see is one box just for battery's and electronics somewhere else. So if there was any accident you would only loose second hand batteries Not everything. Even separated your batteries in half. Starting to get scared of dendrites.

I have a 20ft container in my backyard which I was intending to get rid of once I built my 90m2 shed - hoping the shed would be suitable for batteries. Would it? Looks like the batteries are going in the container for the mean time tough!

Love the enthusiasm in what you're doing! Do you plan on charging the whole Battery Pack with Solar? I also like the part - Shipping Container as a storage for all those batteries too! For cooling, I would simply use a Solar Pump, and spray the whole Container, during those hot summer months. It really is a cheap effective solution, but you need a sealed tray underneath the Shipping Container, to capture/recirculate the water. I too, have had a "poor Man's Powerwall, mounted in an Electrical Enclosure - on the outside wall of the house. Using a single Solar Panel, and a 100Ah lead-acid battery, it has provided free (automatic) lighting in my home since 2005. The swim pool area also has overnight (free) lighting, and also the pool underwater light is operated on 12 volt from solar. One day, all homes will have a Hybrid (back-up) system. My '71 Beetle has also had the 'treatment' and has 4400 Lithium 18650 batteries on board, is fully-electric. Found your YT Vid by chance today. Doing our bit to save the Planet!
