Finally got my LiPo Batteries from China

 Happy days my batteries have arrived




Exciting unboxing them!



These are 24v 100Ah LiPo batteries so combined provide 4.8 KWh (or 5 units) of electricity.

I expect only 80% can be drawn. I also have a mains charger for them.

So either I charge them at a night rate in Tola and discharge during the day to reduce my electricity bill. But Community Power haven't implemented my night rate yet.

Or take them to Mayo and see if they can supply enough current @24V to my 4KW inverter so that I can run the oven for an hour (2KWh). Something I'm yet to achieve.

I also downloaded the Android BMS app to talk over  low-power Bluetooth (BLE) to each battery's Battery Management System (BMS) and all looks good.

They appear to by 8 strings of 3.x v LiPo batteries.



But I want to do this monitoring using a NodeMCU and Arduino later.
