Wohoo, our fist battery module is DONE! 6 more to go 😂 We are building the battery box in the coming days plus connect all the individual BMS units with the VCU - the E-motor is already installed in the Jeep (see upcoming video) - we are making huge progress - because - we are invited to SEMA!! Only 2 more months until then 😂

FYI: AEM's Battery Management System is not on the market yet, as of October 15, 2022. Both P/N 30-8401M(aster) and P/N 30-8401S(atellite). When released they MUST be used the AEM's Vehicle Control Unit. It will not work as a standlone BMS.

It might be late but I have a question regarding battery pack, I have seen manufacturers using 48V modules and then connect them in series parallel to get required voltage and power but I would like to know what would be the problem in building a 400V module (100 cylindrical cells in series) then connect these modules in parallel to get required Ah rating to build a battery pack?

Wow, the battery re-configuration is very labor intensive. Are you doubling the voltage on each module only or entire pack for an 800v system? Did you discard & recycle the weak (red in spreadsheet) cells? Why did you need a kitchen oven for power test?
@ElectrifiedVeronika
2 жыл бұрын
It is, I cannot recommend this process - reusing or repurposing batteries is HARD with these types of mosudles. We are doing that for each of our modules - in total we will get to a 400V system with 6 modules - that's the latest status :-) We are storing the "red" cells right now and once we are done we bring it to a recycler. We use a kitchen oven in order to be on the safe side for our cell testing. If you just do low current charge and discharge tests you should be fine anyways but we also do high power cycling for parameterizing some models and just to be on the safe side, in case something happens during the test, we have the thermal event happening in the oven and our garage will be ok.

I am in the early days of doing some homework for an ev conversion, never really thought about reconfiguring the batteries the way you did, given me some ideas. Your load is a Kunkin KP184 that can pull 40A, your graphic says the test is a constant 40A for about 13000 seconds or well over 3 hours for a test (143Ah/40A is also over 3h.. :) ), per cell. I also see that you have 4 of these units. Do you have 4 so that you can test 4 at the same time or could you put say 2 of the loads in parallel and draw 80A for half the time and measure that? 80A is a lot of draw. Either way testing every battery in a pack is going to take a long time.. ;)
@ElectrifiedVeronika

Hey that’s cool, which car do you convert? Yes we got 4 to parallel them for a high current test on the module, but the software we are using can only control one at a time. For the cell tests so far with the 40 A constant we do 4 tests at the same time which yea takes some time but for us we also find that the cells on each module are very similar so we only do the long test for 4 cells per module. More on that in future videos ☺️
