A quick presentation of my project.
I already produce a part of the electricity that I need. I have 1.4 kw of solar panel on the roof, an old 24v 460AH forklift battery, a Victron MPPT 100/50 charge controler, an 24v to 12v Victron voltage lowerer, and a 3KVA Victron inverter.
The plan is to build a shed to put all the batteries and the charge controler/inverters.
I started to collect laptop batteries a few months ago, I have around 650 for now, I started sorting and making my packs:
Ideas are :
-100 Ah for each pack by matching the number of cells, possibilty to add or remove cells if needed
-maximum use of copper wire, easy to find and easy to solder
-same bus bar lenght for each cell
