Okay I've taken delivery of a Sonnen 96v LifePO4 pack, which I intend to convert to 48v, it's currently 8P32S configuration.
I've had a look at the packaging, and how the plates are organised. And it appears to me, that if I split the long thin plate at one end, then I have 2 x 8P16S packs. If I then bridge all the tabs from the plates, top to bottom (as I've taken the pictures) then that will parallel each section and give me 1 x 16P16S battery??
That seems too simple, I am missing something.
The central tabs also all connect to a PCB, which i guess is a BMS, is this likely to interfere with anything, or worse still cause a short, am I best removing the PCB from the tabs if possible? It looks to be spot welded on.
