MG ZS EV battery modules used to make DIY home battery

[Bandersnatch]

Many will have seen videos repurposing old Nissan Leaf Batteries

 

 

More recently videos have appeared using BYD Blade Batteries 

 

 

 

The problem with these big battery packs is that they are difficult to work with for the DIYer. MG on the other hand have smaller battery modules that can be replaced without having to place the whole pack.

It looks nice, until the point where he shows the voltages of the cells. 500mV difference I would not really want in my battery pack.

And yeah, you can balance them, just to see them drift away again at each charge and discharge...

On top of this, these cells are LiPo chemistry or similar.

For the price you can get new LiFepo4 cells, thermic recycling for these MG cells would probably be the best option.

In the worst case, these unmatched cells will initiate their own thermic recycling  inside your home.
