Idiot's guide to a self build battery

Its a hard life, A2A HP's been chugging away all day.

My cell voltage (red display says 3.27) is a little ahead of yours, but because of my 16S setup, I'm still at 55+% SOC with only 33 kWh left in the tank.

Oh no pal, its not a hard life, I live in Bedford Falls.

I love the last few seconds of that clip, it's probably what my neighbours think.

Thats my favorite film of all time.

It is rather epic isn't it? Another of mine was the massively politically incorrect 'How the West was won'. Jimmy went looking for the varmint. A wonderful analogy for being a bloke!

We are now kicking back with the flood of off-peak power filling the coffers. I am casual about a lot of things but must say that 10 months after buying the I5 and then running a test is over louche even for me.

Although and tbh it was the difference maker in my buying the Hyundai Ioniq5 over and cancelling my early Tesla model Y order.

Fuct if I'll be told what I'll do with my electrons.

I try to write in a reasonably entertaining fashion but the ability to have an extra 73kWh on tap in the house is enormously beneficial and a serious difference maker. Tipped us over to triple digit home storage. Closing the circle would have been.some decent PV on.the vehicle as per the I5 early model P45's but that seems to be a little ahead of the curve. Crack on with the curve would be my reply?

Anyway, damn good test today, good to see the system charging up. Pretty trippy wandering about the house this evening and enjoying the the thought that it's all coming from the stack(s).

In this case I am enjoying Casa De Christmas light switch on! Woohoo!!

Next and likely final step will be to fit some LED's between the LF280's. Purely for the craick and the illumination value of an evening.

I'm now down to 3.25V a cell with 10 more mins to go before my 6hrs of cheapslot.

BOOM! How many kWh's ars you pulling?
A mere 19.151kWh here.

A little less, the EV is charging tonight. I've got the third storage heater and hot water coming on later but the EV should be finished before then.
