Hi guys
After many months of following the threads, and asking a ton of stupid questions (sorry many more to come), I'm now processing cells for my homebrew powerwall.
Found a couple of slow sources for old laptop batteries and I've started to process them, latest count is approx 550 between 2000 mAh and 3000 mAh (averaging out at around 2200)for the packs. Approx 200 between 1500 mAh and2000 mAh that willget put in if I can't source enough cells above 2000 mAh. About another 100 or so that are less than 1500 mAh sat in a box waiting for smaller projects and approx 390 scrap cells that areless than a few hundred mAh, won't charge or can't be recovered.
I've also built a DIY MOT spot welder. I will put up some details on the spot welder forum.
Only problem I now have, just had spinal surgery and I'm not allowed to do anything for a minimum of 6 weeks.
So project has now came to a holt for the time being, still plenty of time on my hands to read many more posts.
I will update as things progress.
