Title: Tesla Battery pack teardown
Post by: ClassicCrazy on February 28, 2017, 11:50:45 PM
I wouldn't mind finding one of these in the junk yard - wonder how much they paid for it ?
A lot of power in there. I also wonder if the BMS is part of each module or if they need to add that on.

I can't believe those guys haven't gone to Harbor Freight Tools and spent $5 to get a security bit set !

They are working on a 300Vdc Cell pack & are lucky they didn't get fried .

Pretty interesting video.

I half expected them to be doing a spoof where they open it up and there are hundreds of AAA NiCd's in it. Saw one like that on an RE / car battery. ;D

Thanks for the share.

VT, Did I count right and there are at least 18 Classics on that wall?  Must be some house they are powering...

close enough .
Li-Ion Packs in a , lets say bunker .
I need "hot gloves" 1000Vdc Gen ||| to mess about.

If You saw the Video , Be AWARE !
DC voltage LOCKS your muscles ,Un like AC your KICKED .
DC say 60Vdc above (everyone is different) can or might feel to lock up .
I worked in 600Vdc  & saw a few fried guys (No Training) .

Not saying AC is safer , watched as a 15/16 combination wrench fell onto a 3 phase set of 1200 Vac bars & just as I caught that , I DOVE out the LF breaker area . I got burns from metal & flash .
