Hello everyone,

Here are the goals I am trying to reach...
By the end of my life I want to be able to store 1.21 GW, so a can go Back to the Future!
To get there I am going to need to break it up into a few milestones.
So far I amthe very beginning stages, Here is what I have so far,

Here are the goals I am trying to reach...
By the end of my life I want to be able to store 1.21 GW, so a can go Back to the Future!
To get there I am going to need to break it up into a few milestones.
- Be able to charge my Chevy Volt at 120V@12a (1.4kw) with a total output of ~12kwh
- Be able to charge my Chevy Volt at 240v @14a (3.3kw) with a total output of ~ 12kwh
- Be able to charge my car, and run my server farm 120v @ 5a
- Be able to recharge my PowerWall via solar
- Be able to run my house off battery for 1 month ~2,000kwh
So far I amthe very beginning stages, Here is what I have so far,
- ~500 cells from HP, and Dell Laptop packs, (Most of them still in there plastic shells)
- SMA 40 Amp Charge Controller
- 4 18650 Chargers so I can work with 16 Batteries at a time.
- Battery Spot Welder
- Cables, XT-90 Connectors, 1a glass fuses (on there way from china)
- Batrium Battery BMS -14s with 375a shunt
- Raspberry pi3 (for Graphana, and other things)
- 2x Arduinos (I was going to build my own bms, then I found Batrium, so I will do something with them)
- A local supplier that will sell me used but still working laptop packs for $3 each. So far most of the batteries have testing ~2,200ma -2,000ma
- Do you think I should start my own Youtube channel for documenting my project, as there are already so many good people out there like Peter, and Average Joe and so on...
