Hello,
my first post here and in this one would like to show you to my new (not yet completely finished) small Lithium Powerwall. Maybe you are interested and motivated to rebuild it (or you are afraid of it and run away^^).
The storage is used withmy small balcony pv system (3 Panels@450Wp total output)
Why Powerwall? Before i used2x 80Ah AGM batteries (bad buy), that was much too little capacity. During the day constantly full and in the evening empty.
Now I'm more than happy, I love this system. It's cheap and very powerfull, of course there are some safety issues, but I think it's possible to get it safe.
ButI have aQuestion, maybe someone can help me:
I consider to extend the powerwall with used batteries.
Is there anything against it?
Would this affect the lifespan of the new batteries?
Some data about it:
- Will be extended with used batteries
- No balancers yet, on the way from China (QNBBM Active Balancer)
- Installation is still provisional, wait for a load rack.
- Extra Lithiumfire extinguisher on the way
- Works extremely goodso far, it feels like I have infinite energy (approx. 5 days.)
