Hi All,
So I am converting a VW T2 Bay Camper to electric by using all the systems from a 2011 leaf. My only real concern is as follows, the SOH of the battery is 68% if relevant, I do not plan to use this battery or more specifically the cells, but I do plan to use everything else, contactors, bms etc.
I intend to make a new pack out of 18650 cells, but I want to increase the capacity. I understand from watching the few videos there are on extender packs that the bms in conjunction with a current sensor will only allow a certain amount of power in or out. I would like to increase the kWh to approx 60/70.
I did intend for the bms to control all the cells in my new pack in terms of balancing and charging. Will this be possible, or will the bms only allow a max of approx 21kWh to be used?
Any thoughts or information you can give me on this unusal request would be most welcome. Thanks, Ryan.
