Well Ive gotten into the battery game late .
I just retired from a life of construction.
I was wanting to buy lithium ( 24v - 200 ah) for a Skoolie build we are working on. 600 watts using 6 panels.
Then I got sticker shock looking at batteries.
Then it hit me. We use 18650 batteries in our outdoor lights for the barns. And our headlamps .
I was outside dealing with relocating a yard light. I look over and see my bugs ( Im a Vw hoarder from the 70s ) all lined up.
And a light bulb went on in my head.
Hey there was a guy that built a Type2 into a ev. Why not build a battery.

For the most part Im a newbie that is a oldie

So this will be another life learning experience.

Ive started collecting cells for the project .
The plan is to complete the minibus with the solar setup charging the batteries
I have all the components for that
Just lack the finished batteries to complete the project

I will search first for answers . And will ask many stupid questions as well. Now remember I can build a home , rebuild a truck or tractor and find that roof leak that everyone else can not . I can build a small sailing boat or restore that old Triumph, Norton or BSA.

At this time I have 2 of the i2 chargers . I used these just for our headlamps / night vision for yote work at night I

I have not done much with circuits etc but I will learn.
Im planning on learning from many of you young men and women.

Im outside of Kansas City Missouri ( Excelsior Springs ) .

I keep reading Opus charger. But what model.
I have collected from various places old lap top batteries. Now just need to get to work

Any advice much appreciated . Like I said Im new to the game.
T.I.A
