How to make 24 volt Nissan leaf battery Bank.

[@brianhawki7149]

Very nice leaf bank design you have built for your system, the best !

[@closertothetruth9209]

i like the lower voltage battery banks because; if the inverter fails you can still run appliances that can also run on 12/24v like a refrigerator, freezer, tv, lighting , its no big deal if the inverter dies. ive seen common ac tv's that can actually run on 12v

[@ProjectReliveEden]

Carson nvm on my previous question i asked it before I watched this video it explains everything wonderfully man!!!! you a real G!!!!

[@showmequick2245]

Any update on this please I am trying to set up like yours. How are they balancing ? When drawing do some lag?

[@danny60473]

What bms do you use?

[@Fabe408]

You Are Da Man 🙌🏽🙏🏽✊🏽💯 I appreciate the wisdom my brotha!

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

I got your message I got home late and I was tired yesterday. Wanted to get the video done and get it uploaded I will try to answer your question when I get off from work tonight thank you sir.

[@tonyduran9539]

Hey is good searing I want to used yet what you have thank you for your video what inverter you are used for this battery thank you very much

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

Sorry for the late response been off of KZbin for a while. My inverter is a MPP solar 5048 LV.

[@wally1957]

perfectly said!

[@diysolaradventures7894]

Wait I see so ur individual cells are 8v each ?? I'm confused about them types of cells I guess specially with that center bus bar between the positive and negative post on the cells become all I'm getting is 9v going 3 across like that

[@diysolaradventures7894]

Can I do that configuration with the 3.2v lithium cells for a 24v bank ?

[@nimalperera5454]

Why there are buz bars between the negative and positive buz bars with which you have connected the cells in parallel? What is the purpose of them?

[@riversidelodgebansang]

Good day, I'm totally new to the concept of Lithium Ion batteries with all the gadgets that go with it. Do you need a BMS for this system? Can you use any charge controller or do you need a charge controller that supports Lithium batteries?

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

Sorry it took me so long I was not notified by KZbin that you left this message. To answer your question I ran my lithium Nissan leaf battery bank for a year or more without a BMS. Do you need one no but it is a lot safer and a lot less timeconsuming because you do not have to continuously check the batteries to make sure they stay in balance. You can set your BMS up and if any of the batteries get out of balance it will set off a alarm and notify you that it is out of balance and it will shut down the system to keep you from damaging your batteries I hope this helped you out. Thank you

[@davidcarson1255]

What bms for 24v set 3 stacks of 5 like the video?

[@burtonnystrom4606]

I like what you’ve done but wouldn’t 4 stacks in series do better for 24v most 24 v inverters run to 32 volts ? Your thoughts?

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

According to the information that I found on his inverter 29 volts was the max. And when he discharged his batteries it would be right at the threshold of damaging them when the inverter cuts off at 20 volts.

[@drsolar]

8S is easier to get a BMS for than 6S

[@dankok531]

On heavy load days,does it handle the job?

[@daynemassey]

I’ve never messed with these, but what kind of setup would you use to build a 36 volt DC golf cart battery? What would you use to charge it?

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

Big battery sells a 36 volt Nissan leaf battery setup for golf carts and I believe it comes with the charger too check them out at big battery.com

[@daynemassey]

I’m kind of a do it yourselfer and I was wondering if I could do it a lot cheaper. It looks like all you need is enough leaf batteries and a battery control module, along with a charger. Is that right?

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

Yes but about time you source all of it yourself then put it together it probably would be cheaper just buying it. Go to big battery.com and you can price everything you need there then you can see how much it would be if you bought everything separately.

[@oogie-boogie]

i like how you helped ,i was wondering if you could help me with batt stuff,,,im doing a pack thats 7 x 7 thats what i call it its 7 down and 7 across,,56 volt battery, im confused about the wiring,,its gonna be 14 in a stack and 3 stacks like that then a single 7 stack

[@ravenmoffeit5277]

this looks to be a 7p 3s setup

[@ravenmoffeit5277]

i mean 7p4s setup

[@dancompagnari4946]

Hey Carson. What is the most you have seen in a single stack? Thought about going 42 or 49 high. What you think?

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

Sorry about the late response I have not been on KZbin in a very long time. If you have any questions and haven't got the answers you needed please get back with me thank you.

[@Willsmokalot]

so I have to buy 21 too have 24v like yours? how long does this battery bank last. How long does it last running a pc or something of the same power.

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

Sorry for the late response haven't been on KZbin in a very long time. No you do not have to have 24 batteries to make 24 volts. Three modules in series will make 24 volts. If you start adding three more on top of that in parallel you start adding more capacity. The more capacity you have the longer the battery will last. If you had the battery set up the way it is in the video you would be able to run a laptop for a very long time maybe a week or more. I started off with 16 modules at 24 volts and I could run my whole house overnight with no problem.

[@diysolaradventures7894]

How many volts is each cell 3.2?

[@darrenorange2982]

Can you walk though all your fusing between your battery and the PIP?

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

Yes I can I try to do it tonight.

[@darrenorange2982]

@@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437 Looking forward to it Thanks!

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

Sorry about that I'm at my doctors appointment I try to get it today later on tonight.

[@fredjr26]

Where did you by the actual cells from?

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

I purchased some from tech direct and I also bought some from battery hookup.

[@johnsmithfakename8422]

Do the individual batteries or the buss bars get warm?

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

No they don't they stay about ambient temperature. I have a video up where I am testing the batteries and the bus bars with a thermal gun.

[@chandanathushara3031]

this module charring current and voltage ?

[@gabrielmartinez3171]

So you actually have a 48v system? Do you run a bms?

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

Yes it is a 48-volt system and no I did not have a BMS on it when this video was done. I ran it with no BMS for about a year and a half but now I have a BMS on it.

[@lianvian]

Hello so what is the capacity of the total pack in watts and ah

[@hing983]

hi again how to stack leaf battery for 12v how many leaf together in parallel

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

You can stack as many as you want in parallel but two in series give you 12 volts.

[@محمدبنيهاني-ه5م]

اذا بدي تربطها على نضام 48 فولت

[@hing983]

hello does need bms? 3 stacks 24v leaf if do it how S many bms

[@carsonlurbanwindandsolar3437]

They recommend you use a BMS whenever you using Nissan leaf modules.

[@robmaine26]

Awesome 😎

[@igorkvachun3572]

Yes 👍

[@pondbearflyer1193]

Think i found it?

[@sNEAKYnIGHTmUPPET]

first! lol
