Will Prowse's video
I have a question regarding Will Prowse's video.
I want to build my own lithium ion battery power wall. I'm planning a 12S 100P pack, using 3000mAh lithium ion cells. Producing a 300Ah pack, with about 14.4kWh storage capacity. So unlike the battleborn batteries Will Prowse uses mine will be different.
The questions are:
1) I assume I will need a 12s BMS to balance each of the 12s cell/banks containing 100 cells each? I guess the 100 cells connected in parallel will balance themselves? Does the BMS prevent the cell/bank to overcharge, therefore not above 4.2V nor drop below 3.2V?
2) I know how to connect the small balancing leads to the pack / battery wall, but have no idea where in the system to connect the BMS to? Is that perhaps in series between the PPM positive connection out to the battery wall and the positive terminal of the battery wall. Can anybody please help here?
3) I am planning to buy a 48V, 5kW MPP solar inverter, see below. BUT is says a max of 66V DC, is that for the battery power wall or the solar input? If required I can hook up additional inverters in parallel to increase output to 10kW and also increase power wall storage capacity.
4) To charge a 48V system, I need to connect 4 x 12V solar panels in series, is that correct? If I have 12 x 300W solar panels, connecting 4 in series with 3 sets in parallel, it produces 48V and only 900W, is that correct? It seems way too little solar generation to charge the battery power wall?
