44V Cummins COSLIGHT-BRAMMO Battery

[Elkewe]

I purchased this battery from an auction for $269. It is made for electric motorcyles but I am wondering if it could be used in an offgrid solar setup. What are your thoughts? Any recommendations? Would I be better off trying to sell it for it's intended use?

Thank you for your replies.

I think you'll struggle to find a 48V that can make use of the working voltage range.

You should be able to make a decent chunk of change if you can find the right buyer.

If you really want to use it I suppose you could use a step down converter to run a small 24V or 12V inverter but I don't think that's a great option. Also it looks like it's not the safest chemistry.

I didn't check if this feature is on the ASP as well as the HESP - but in the HESP set up the battery options include LFP-16 cell, 15 cell, and 14 cell
then in the set up for charging it allows you to set the voltages you want. Could match the battery requirements likely.
But then, how will you expand and add more battery capacity later?
Maybe best to sell that for it's intended use, and stick to 48v for solar-inverter stuff...less likely to get into trouble.
But if you can get ten more of those batteries at that price...that would be another matter.
