Скачать или смотреть Garia ReLion LiFePO4 battery repurposed for home ESS: piggybacked on my Pylontech and Victron system

This is a 10kWh battery from a Garia Utility vehicle or a similar golf buggy. I believe that a replacement would cost $10k or therabouts. My battery came from a scrapped vehicle and cost me £200 with a load of cabling, accessories, a charger and a motor controller.

This battery is a 16s LiFePO4 Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery at 51.2v nominal. In my home energy storage system (ESS) I have a Pylontech Battery, which runs as a 15s setup at 48v nominal. To make this Garia battery compatible with my Pylontech battery I have to abandon one cell, and fit a new Battery Management system (BMS). So I opted for a generic BMS from Fogstar. The BMS cost about £70. I extended the cell sensor cables using speaker cable and located the thermal sensors appropriately. The BMS comes with a link to a "XiaoXiangElectric" app, which I used Initially, but I then downloaded the "Overkill Solar" app, whic also works.

The new battery is piggybacked after the Pylontech battery and even though it is twice the capacity of the Pylontech US5000 battery they seem to get along famously.
