[EVDL] BMS recommendation/ experiences?
Hello, I've been driving my Dakota truck EV conversion for over 7 years, and finally pulled the plug & bought a lithium battery pack. (46 CALB cells, which should arrive this week!). Now I'm looking at BMS's, and am curious if anyone has any experience with the Thunderstruck BMS? ( http://www.thunderstruck-ev.com/bms/ ). Positive/ negative experiences from anyone who's used it would be appreciated; I'm also considering Lithiumate or Orion, but those seem quite a bit pricier. Thanks!

[EVDL] Huge irony.
This may be a step in the right direction but so ironic that the first large electric ship hauls coal.

Re: [EVDL] BMS recommendation/ experiences?
Hi Philip, I talked to Mark from Thunderstruck some months ago about their BMS, it is a really nice equipment and very accessible on price. But I was unable to use it since it was on its end of development stage by then. But as reference, I can 100% recommend their EVCC (Charge controller) which was designed by the same team, if this helps. On the other hand, I can tell Orion BMS is one of the best battery management systems I've use so far. It is quite complicated to wire and install the first time (I've installed several of them) but is Pro device, really close to a car OEM BMS. And just for reference, I uploaded a 32min YouTube video for a friend of the main wirings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jj5kWc4v6A&t=2s It's on Spanish, but if that helps, great!

[EVDL] (video transcribed& translated): BMS recommendation/ experiences?
For those that are not fluent in Spanish, you can mute the video's sound, turn youtube's cc on & set the cc to auto translate into English. Below that is the page's transcript, converted into English & some time stamps edited out for read-flow. [.es>translate.google>.en] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jj5kWc4v6A&t=2s Basic configuration of an ORION BMS, Technical Video Marco Gaxiola Published on Aug 1, 2017 This is a technical video about the BMS systems of the ORION-EWERT Technologies brand, which in my experience are some of the best systems available in the open market for energy management with lithium batteries. They are not easy teams to connect, or to configure, and although this video lasts 32 minutes; I only manage to cover some details, tips and minimum recommendations. However, it will help those who are initiating in these systems. The connection and installation of these systems must be done by people with knowledge and professional experience in EVs and lithium batteries. 6:23 / 32:46 Transcript 00:00 ok I'll start with the exception of all parts that contain the schedule or there is a meeting system although the first connections and the most important are those of the salty is the physical earth then has in this volta a cable of many colors with several cables of many types have two drivers and so on 00:30 this cable is what keeps all the data communication the campus that connects the battery of auto to battery charger to many other parts of the vehicle though after here comes another cable is that there are only two requirements slim eye this cable so low voltage or not 00:53 all this everything will remove opera with 12 volts with the car battery normal because we are going to prepare the high voltage battery that is the bank of battery main battery 12 volts in the whole territory for operate under voltage this case of success 01:09 that come to more 2 222 wires here in orange and black goes in this part here he is in charge of monitoring the Main voltage of the battery bank principado sa is practically going to study the lithium bank for batteries throughout the system the homeland are on this side 01:32 this cable will monitor the attack of main battery bank what more we have have apart we have installed another one a month that the one that is going to change this one is also dedicated to monitor the battery bank main but here comes a droplet and this one obviously 01:58 a historian others more the current that flows into the system through this inductive census this sensor practically what you have to do is of the battery bank happens either in positive or negative 02:11 those who go towards the engine I'm assuming that the engine is opposite or the traction system and the bank the fair after one of the two cables go through the census then the current that industry within the defender the very capable of monitor with that constant monitoring principal and with this the current and these additional cables that there are four sensors here 02:35 temperature they call territorial and They are practically some bags of plastic that come here in submerged in plastic you are already received then 02:44 these four sensors we can schedule three of them can go well in the condition in between the batteries 02:52 depending on how they fit in and one can be used at room temperature 02:56 temperature is doing in the outside and what temperature it has internally the batteries between more stuck between the cells and all these factors is better this this is because one out and all the icons but this it would be the other part well out of here and nothing else 03:14 we have to call it Celtic in this case they are efe cam I will send those harnesses to there and to here and in this stadium is configured for a package of 48 03:33 so that's why they're banking here we have a block of head yellow then a block of red wires and an orangeade each block are 12 03:45 here we have 12 24 36 03:50 then we need another one with this more 03:53 to have 48 and that side here 03:57 where we have the Celts who call him not puts defend the first set up of the defense 04:03 we are towards me is that it is of the Logo part of Orion logo 04:09 here comes number one number 2 and number 3 of Inca with Hector brings only three groups one two and three 04:18 the first group etc 04:21 well the first three groups the group 1 which are 12 cells of the analyzed 04:25 then the second group that are the reds 04:28 the third group which are the yellow ones 12 24 36 and the fourth group in this case 04:34 nothing else come loaded with 12 because already with this the 48 are completed - For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing
[EVDL] (ot trip): EVLN EV newswire status ...
The evdl as not heard from me in a couple days, so I posted some responses to let you all know was still kicking. (trip Silicon Valley>Los Banos>Bakersfield> ... ) On 20171218 in the afternoon, I took Hwy152 east toward CA's central valley. I stopped by Casa de Fruta to find a Superstation going in behind the Casa de Chevron (ice station) and took an image https://s3.amazonaws.com/plugshare.production.photos/photos/253179.jpg After several ice trials and tribulations (I won't get into> definitely ot), tonight I have the (Bakersfield) motel wifi connectivity to create a listing on plugshare for that 'soon to be online' superEVSE https://www.plugshare.com/location/138590 The worker at the nearby Roady's Casa De Diesel (truck stop) https://roadys.com/location_details.php?id=19 (their page has lat-long coordinates) said the Tesla inspector was to come on that day. So the inspection (red-tape) process is making progress slow to get it turned on. Hopefully no more issues (of any kind), and tomorrow I will arrive& stay the night in Needles,CA :-) For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
