On current balancing on your batteries -- the opposite corner connection method does not balance your peak currents beyond two batteries, but it is better than taking both connections from one side. Your cross connect cables and battery modules form a multi-stage low pass filter, and charge is first provided to or from the batteries on each end, but the center batteries are always five time constants (or more, as the number of batteries goes up) behind to get to 99% current of the batteries on the ends. Eventually, the batteries in the middle will equalize (in *voltage* , not current) to the end batteries after enough time, but the tail current is always a superposition of all the stacked currents from all the modules. The result of all this is that your charger may or may not fully charge all the modules in the middle before it shuts down, and the middle batteries are not doing the same work as the ends.. It depends on the tail current algorithm, and how much resting period there is to allow the voltages to equalize, etc. There are two ways to balance all the currents; one is to home run all modules with equal length, equal resistance cables to a common post, or two, to use multiple corner symetry in your battery cabling, which may be impractical with these big modules. You can model the system using a circuit simulator, but use supercapacitor RC equivalents with IC (initial condition) set to your lowest battery voltage. A fixed voltage battery model doesn't charge up like a real battery. A fixed voltage battery model *will* show you the initial condition when charge is first applied, and how far they are out of balance at time t(0).
@deldridg 2 жыл бұрын
It's wonderful to be able to access insights from experts such as yourself. One question arises - at what point do the relative cell charging characteristic tolerances make fine balancing irrelevant beyond a certain point? It appears that the starting point is to assume the batteries are identical. Is there a test to determine such things? Just wondering. Cheers and thank you, from Sydney - Dave

Your biggest limiting factor here will be heat. Tesla packs are liquid cooled for a reason. They maintain a very specific temperature gradient.
@ZaiFuchigami 7 ай бұрын
It actually isn't a limiting factor for my setup. Tesla modules have active liquid cooling (and heating) to manage the pack temp rise during supercharging where power can go higher than 150kW. Since my max power going in or out of the battery bank never goes above 5kW, cooling isn't required because the cells don't heat up at such low c-rates. And since the modules are inside the house where there is always climate control, the batteries are never exposed to damaging temperatures or conditions.

Thanks :) The system has been working great running 24/7 for well over 3 years now. I did do a couple upgrades in that time which have improved the system all together. I added a Raspberry Pi 3 running Victron Venus OS monitoring all the Victron components in VRM with remote access capability. I then removed the old daisy chained loop cable connections to each module and got a custom solid busbar going across the entire stack with smaller angled busbars from each terminal. After that I added a much larger 100mm2 battery cable from the battery to the upper section and re did the distribution area. I removed the old Chinese MCBs and replaced them with Blue Sea Systems 187 series breakers and another custom solid busbar distribution system connected to each one. Then I added a second solar array with 6 445W shingled panels for an additional 2.6kWp of solar power, and another Victron SmartSolar 150/100Tr charge controller for the new array. I basically completely re built both the upper section and lower section since this video :)

Hey Zia, Awesome build. ❤ Love it. I live south of La Paz Mexico. In 2015, 9 years ago, I built our home out in the desert. No grid available. I bought 22 used Tesla batteries from demolished Smart cars. These are 54V nominal lithium batteries made by Tesla. At the time each used battery cost me $1,000 USD. I connected all 22 batteries with a machined bus bar and used NO BMS. I have been running my house that has multiple 2 ton air conditioners since 2015 with no problem. My QUESTION to you is if you used no BMS how much cheaper would your system be? I’m selling my Mexican house in moving back to the states so I will need to rebuild my system in the USA for my new house. I very much like your system. Much love from Mexico ❤. Also have no fear of heat for you batteries it gets really hot where I live and I am on top of a volcano vent. Your home will never get hot enough to cause a problem for the batteries unless the house burns down first. For inverter and MPPT I am using a Schneider 6848 and 200/80 MPPT.
@ZaiFuchigami 6 ай бұрын
Hi! Thanks for the kind words! Your systems sounds great, its always cool to see others DIY-ing their own off gris setups. If I didn't use a BMS the total cost would only go down around $400USD, or the cost of the simpBMS itself. The benefit of using the simpBMS is the simplicity of setup as it uses the original Tesla slave BMS boards and original Tesla wiring harness. It's almost plug and play reading data from only 4 pins from the daisy chained wiring harness. Adding a BMS to your system would be slightly more difficult as the 54V Tesla SmartCar modules don't have slave BMS boards and you'd have to use a multi channel BMS board like a Batrium or Orion system reading cell data from the balance connector.

Installed the array before the Tesla modules when I had a much smaller 14kWh Nissan Leaf battery bank. It was sized relatively correctly for that older system, so In comparison to the 60kWh of storage it seems small. I got the deal on the whole Tesla P85 pack so it wasn’t like I got 14 individual modules for it... Though I plan to add hydro and potentially more panels down the line.

@ZaiFuchigami 3 жыл бұрын
To be honest I should explained that in the video. The 14 modules I installed is more than enough energy to power my house so i though I’d save the other two. One modules I used for its cells to be built into smaller battery packs to power small devices. One modules has 444 basically perfectly balanced and high quality 18650 cells that would cost north of $1000 if bought as loose cells. The other module I’ll keep intact for another solar system in a workshop. To answer your last question, yes, you could add more modules in parallel to Increase capacity, but you could run into balancing issues if the modules you add aren’t degraded to the similar degree as the already installed ones. I don’t plan to add anymore as again, it’s more than enough capacity but, I also doubt another one of these pack will come out to the market in Japan anytime soon.

It definitely does add up to being more costly than grid power per kWh, but I didn't do this to save money on bills. It's to be independent from the grid and to be able to self sustain electricity wise. Blackouts are frequent where I live and grid power is extremely dirty from the use of large induction furnaces nearby. Since I installed the system there have been well over 15 grid blackouts that lasted hours. This system has never failed once in the same time. Plus I now have the knowledge and experience to build more systems in the future :)

How well do the solar panels work? Ive just purchased 6-300watt flexible panels for a airstream camper project and have room for 12 more if needed, all vents and A/C removed so I’ve got 28 feet of roof to work with. Ive got everything you have as far as Victron 24/3000 UL version and the 150/100 Mttp. Question though, Why choose the Tesla batt when you could purchase cells and build 8 or 12 24v 100 ah Batt w/24v BMS? Allowing a very easy swap if any cell were to fail, vrs Tesla and also the cells have a 5000/10year warranty? Thanks in advance if you have time to reply. PS nice set up and if the panels are in-fact 315watt could you point me to where you purchased as I plan on making a portable array to be plugged into the roof array as everything in this build will run off the solar so wattage is a must for 24/7 operation

Forgive my lack of knowledge on Japan's electrical grid, but my understanding is that they use a 100VAC system. Do you have to worry about damaging any of your devices when using the 120VAC Inverter? The 20V delta is a bit past the +/- 10% tolerance that devices typically permit.

The MultiPlus I used is one of the few inverters that can actually be programmed down to 100VAC from its default of 120VAC. So it’s outputting the correct voltage for all my Japanese appliances. I have it set to 101VAC to account for some voltage drop in wiring, but it’s extremely stable.

@@ZaiFuchigami I did not know the MultiPlus could do that. That's awesome! Do you manage to run your entire house on that 3 kVA (≈3 kW) Inverter or are you also grid connected? As you may already know, most modern houses in the States have a 200A service at 240V, so 48 kW available. I'm curious what is typical in Japan.

@@-Enginerd It’s a great little unit for sure! I do manage to run my house on just the 3kW, but there are times where I do wish I had more power to play with. I could add another MultiPlus in parallel or in a split phase configuration, but it’s not really worth the extra money. I’m also pushing the limits of what i can do on 24V. As for grid power, I’m not connected at all, 100% independent. Newer houses in Japan typically have a 40A split phase service. So 8kW at 200V. You can request higher amp service up to around 100A 3 phase. But it’s doesn’t make sense for most people. Japanese houses are pretty small compared to homes in the US so they can be quite energy efficient. Smaller mini split A/C units have been standard for decades here which help lower power usage.

@@ZaiFuchigami Hey that's awesome! Thank you for the detailed response. Yes, American homes are oversized and inefficient just like our vehicles. 😕 The good news is the brilliance of mini split systems are finally being recognized here and installs have been ramping up significantly in the past several years.

Hi, great project and probably the best video and explanation on this type of project. Just one question regarding the contactor, which contactor did you use and how did you connect it to the simpbms, I have tried the original one from the battery that is a Gigavac GV200-004 but cannot figure out the connection to the simpbms from the manual? thanks

Nice looking setup! Aren’t the Tesla car batteries going to overheat Since there’s no coolant system cooling them! And since they’re within a half inch of each other! shouldn’t they be spaced at least 3 to 4 inches apart with an intake fan and exhaust fan taking the heat out of the cabinet and the intake bringing from the room into the cabinet

I don't think so since the power input and power draw aren't huge like a car... unless I'm wrong about that EDIT: he actually addresses this in the video
@ZaiFuchigami 2 жыл бұрын
Scotty is right. I don’t draw enough power from the modules to heat them up at all. They actually can’t heat up until you draw upwards of 10-20kW. Because of that fans or spacing aren’t required. The active components like the inverter and charge controller do have fans.

You have 2835W of solar for charging. How much power do they generate in a typical day?
@ZaiFuchigami 18 күн бұрын
I added a second array and second charge controller after this so I have a bit over 5,500Wp of solar installed. I have some shading issues and a current bottleneck from using 24v which limits the total power I can harness. My current record is 22kWh of solar generation in one day.

Cool project, how long do the panels take to fully charge the battery pack? I plan on doing something similar in the future.
@ZaiFuchigami 2 жыл бұрын
Takes about 30 hours of full sunlight to charge the battery, which is around 5-6 days worth of sun. But since I use around half of what I generate a day during the day, it takes longer. so around 10-15 days would be normal. But this is mostly due to the lack of roof space I have. you could add more panels to charge faster.
