- In part one of this video, I built what I consider to be my best ever battery from 2800 18650 cells recovered from used laptop batteries. In this where my plans change and changed pretty drastically when I first started this build was about a year ago and since then the laws that involve installing this type of battery have changed to make me continue this type of build not legal. So rather than give up I'll step up - it's a little more cash & a little more effort but as much as I really hate some of the rules they will make my installation much safer & will reduce my very inflated insurance costs by enough to pay for all of the changes in a year or three. So well worth the effort. The plan for the shipping container was to film one epic build/move video over the next few months without telling the world first but these plans have changed so you can see me build out the shipping container and add your feedback if you so feel.

Now I can see why there is a world shortage of Lithium cells…..You’ve got them all 😳
this pile is like only 20% of my stash lol
You can get a lot from the junkyards but you'll need to clean and test each one.
Save a little cash.

Love your work mate, learning so much from you. Your vids are fun, stylish and hugely knowledgable. Your editing style is quick and efficient viewing too which is very nice! Much cheers and looking forward to future projects :)
Glad you like them!
"Rules are rules lets follow them by the book" while wearing an Anarchy shirt had me, not gonna lie.
Turns out it was a cleaver yt algorithm hack :)
Great job Pete! I can see you’re not afraid of some really hard work. Looking forward to seeing that beasty battery on the wall of that nice new container!
Ooh i hate hard work.. but people sure like watching someone else do it lol
This just prove Everything can be done by hard Work and ideas. Moving the Shelter i Would know enough ppl who never thought this could be done by Hand. Great job
Anything is possible - your wife just has to let you 😆
Lol to be honest it’s been over 2 years since I last watched one of your videos... I was with you from the very early days... and must congratulate you on how much you have progressed and how polished the videos are now
Thanks buddy, not all polished as it take SOO much extra time i really don't have.
Reminds me of about a decade ago I helped my father move a whole addition which became a shed. We would leverage it up with poles, put some cut lumber under it, and then push it to roll the lumber and move the shed inches at a time.
Actually went pretty well.
It's only gota work with what you have
SHIPPING CONTAINER!! Finally! :D
only because you did hehe
@@HBPowerwall lol
@DIY Projects lol
Awesome videos mate great content really enjoy seeing your progress it’s incredible.
Thanks a ton!
Smart man, and an enjoyable video. Good explanation of what you are doing and what stage you are at so that there we're no misunderstandings.
In progresss
Very interesting project! I do wonder whether the bus bar exit from each pack should be strain relieved somehow, as it looks pretty easy to accidentally tear up the nickel sheet when handling or connecting up.
Yes they should design works but lacks in mechanical strength.
Parabéns pelo sistema, muito bom um dos melhores que já vi.
3:40 "Rules are rules, right, so let's follow 'em to the book" ...you know what that symbol on your shirt means, right? I shed a single tear when you said that
Just one - you're a heartless human!
I bloody love this.
I am tuning in because I have arrived at that time in my life where I am investigating solar....and more importantly investigating DIY solar!!!!
But I am an Aussie who has lived OS since 1998 and I absolutely am loving the Aussie banter especially with the missus.
Made my day.
OI OI OI
She is no longer.. OI OI OI...
There are some aspects of the mount I really do like, but I have serious reservations as well. The first is it seems the cells are being used as part of the mechanical structure (i.e. the weight of the pack is resting on the bottom cells). This could be asking for trouble especially when considering this second issue. A battery wall is a stationary object right? Well the unfortunate reality is this statement is only ~99.999% true. During an earthquake or other natural disturbance, I suspect there is a possibility the packs could simply fall out of the mount. Since we have little to no warning of when these types of events occur, this might pose a serious safety risk. I do like the simplicity of the design and how easy it is to swap packs in and out if needed, but the above concerns would force me to look for ways to modify it so they are addressed. Anyone have any ideas on improvements? If the mount was installed in an electrical enclosure, maybe the door could also act as a locking mechanism to prevent the bottom of the pack from kicking out? PS. Great job on using the shipping container...don’t think you’d have to worry too much about burning something down :) BTW, this is my single biggest fear with building a DIY power wall and still thinking through how to overcome it - unfortunately I don’t think my neighbors or wife would appreciate the shear beauty of a shipping container.
A simple bracket made of clear plastic strip could be attached to the top/bottom which would secure it in place
Great videos and content 👍👍, subbed ✌️. I thought about doing something similar when I had a 6kw solar system put in but according to energy Australia I am already using all of it through the day and have no extra to store lol
Thanks for the sub! Also if you're in Australia and have the premium feed in tariff you'll loose it! But if your only getting 6-13c it's well worth it
gee pete you snuck that one in heh heh
are you referring to the container? the PLAN was spend months building it out and do a single hour long video with the whole install
@@HBPowerwall buuuut you got too excited and couldn't wait ??? or is there a series of videos coming to our eyeballs soon ???
No - laws changed and needed a part two on my last video lol
hell yea man.. quality of your videos are getting more an more awesome
cheers from the USA
Much appreciated! its a hell of a lot of extra effort but the stats make me smile
:- ) Thanks for the update
You bet!

You and me both! Then i can bet back to working on the mini
Hey mate, noticed your car in the background and recognised it, live just around the corner from you, what are the odds. Where do you get all of your 18650s from? Have a good one.
I got all these ones from a local school via. a recycle center..

Простите, я не понимаю английский. Но к увиденному у меня возникли вопросы. А вы учли те пару нюансов к аккумуляторным сборкам?
1) Ток идёт по наименьшему пути сопротивления. Какими идеальными небыли бы аккумуляторы, внутреннее сопротивление у них разное. И из-за этого, при зарядке сборки из тысяч аккумуляторов, больше половины аккумуляторов не зарядятся и до половины заряда, в то время как некоторые аккумуляторы уже будут в перезаряженном состоянии (заряд батареи выше нормы
). И в ходе эксплуатации, медленно но верно, один за другим, аккумуляторы будут выходить из строя, по пути наименьшего сопротивления.
2) Заряд аккумулятора и отдача энергии аккумулятором, происходят за счёт химического процесса происходящего внутри аккумулятора. В ходе этого химического процесса выделяется тепло. Аккумуляторы находящиеся в центре этой аккумуляторной сборки будут перегреваться, от перегрева они потекут, лопнут и вызовут короткое замыкание.
Так что, первый вопрос - как вы будете контролировать уровень заряда каждого аккумулятора из тысяч аккумуляторов, что бы не допустить заряда аккумулятора выше нормы? Второй вопрос - как вы будете охлаждать аккумуляторы, особенно те которые находятся в центре?
В похожих сборках для машин Тесла блоки были сборные с одинаковыми хар-ми.
К каждому блоку были подведены датчик и зарядник свой.
Все блоки омывались трансформаторным маслом.
У меня на шуруповерте стоит всего 3 таких аккумулятора и для них есть балансировка и датчик температуры.
А ещё я сам паял такие аккумуляторы, после чего некоторые стали греться и умерли.
Их нельзя вообще паять, а у автора половина блоков спаяно.
В этом железном контейнере аккумуляторы перегреются на солнце и полыхнут аки ясно солнце.
К тому же Б\У аккумуляторы такого типа вообще не имеют смысла т.к. по хар-кам они хуже новых свинцовых аккумуляторов, но гораздо требовательнее к балансировке и заряду.
Короче, мужик лучше бы поставил деревянный домик и внутри за те же деньги свинцовые аккумуляторы было бы эффективнее, дешевле и больше было бы ёмкости.
@@AleksandrArtroom
HBPowerwall
говорит что - " Total max charge/draw is 0.33 amps per cell... issues disappear " - " Общая максимальная зарядка / потребление составляет 0,33 А на ячейку ... проблемы исчезают ".
Реально, в сборках Тесла учли эти факторы и как то решили их - th-cam.com/video/TdUqQZC2dcE/w-d-xo.html .
0.33 А на ячейку при зарядке , от части согласен, перегрев и перезарядка аккумуляторам не страшны с такими токами. А разрядка, чем он контролирует сколько отдает каждая ячейка? При разряде аккумуляторы тоже греются. + С такими токами, сколько дней будет заряжаться эта установка.
" У меня на шуруповерте стоит всего 3 таких аккумулятора " - что это за шуруповёрт такой? В съёмном блоке от шуруповёрта там их 9 или 12 таких батарей. Или вы имеете ввиду мелкий шуруповёрт-отвёртку?
В общем, что то не вызывает доверия данная установка. Производители ноутбуков в гарантийном талоне указывали, что гарантия на аппарат 1-2 года, а на АКБ гарантия пол года. Даже если не от перегрева или перегруза, то просто от срока годности эти аккумуляторы начнут выходить из строя. Ещё и Б/У аккумуляторы. У мужика реально слишком много свободного времени и денег заниматься такой фигнёй - паять 19000 батареек :)
I love what you did and I am building a 24-volt battery bank for a houseboat I am going to be building with solar panels. What I need to know is. Did you use any BMS for your battery bank, or did you just connect it to an MPPT charger? Also if you did use a BMS, how many amBMS would you suggest I get for my bank?
ok fair enough, i'll give you a sub for the hard work ;)
I'll take that :)
I watch your last video on how you assembled the stack of batteries but I failed to figure out why you would have these batteries in the first place. Is it for power outage where you live or something else?
To be honest 4 years ago it started as a joke - it got out of hand - it saved money on my powerbill - it made money on youtube - i couldn't stop ..... it's like a love story lol
You simply amazing my man!
I appreciate that!
how many amps can you pull through one of those before thermal takeoff? only asking because i made one of these once, but upon hooking it to and inverter and powering a small flatscreen tv, the batterys got extremley hot and exploded.
wouldn't want to go over 150amps - batteries would start to get warm about 250 amps at 48v
Check out the overview here of the new regulations - renew.org.au/renew-magazine/solar-batteries/new-battery-installation-rules/ and you can download a draft copy of those regulations here - www.smartenergy.org.au/sites/default/files/uploaded-content/website-content/dr2_as_nzs_5139_2019_pc.pdf.pdf
Nanny state and securing jobs for the boys again. Soon you will need to a call in an electrician to put bread and pull toast out of a toaster or make a cup of coffee (unless you use gas stove then its a licensed plumber).
I think they had good intentions - doing stuff safer is a thing - we will see how it plays out. I NEED to talk to a sparkie in person and start talking through my plan and make a solid plan to move foward - fingers crossed I can set the standard and help everyone along the way
@@HBPowerwall do you have a link to part 1 btw?
Man these rules are harsh, thankfully all my battery builds so far have been portable and as a result don't suffer from these new rules. Seems the best way to still make your own battery systems will be to make it in a big chest and put wheels on it, although that doesn't help if you want to make a powerwall integrated into a house's mains wiring (then again doing that without an electrician was already illegal).
This situation seems similar to the FPV drone hobby. When the rules become so extreme that everyone is breaking at least one of them, it becomes easy to ignore them all together.

So was there a reason why you cut down a 20ft shipping container and not use a 10ft explosives container? or even a 10ft hi-top or 10ft standard container? as I build with 40ft, 20ft, 10ft and other more exotic configurations. Cutting, welding, painting costs is all.
All I could find
Glad to see you got your shipping container 👍.
Me too! took a while but my hand was pushed ... at least SHE helped lol
Hey Man over here in NZ seems a bit hard to source 18650s, any main place you suggest i can find some or buy at a price with out loosing a arm and a leg. Thanks
It's harder to find them here also - I got these from a local school via a recycler

@@HBPowerwall Obviously still consult professionals. As Legalese is a mindfield. But Andrew Reddaway who wrote the other article also seems to believe it is an "and" in his "Overview of the new standard" section
I would even argue that the system is a UPS - it's effectively the same bloody thing!
I hope you have some kind of ventilation for those cells the last thing that you want to do is over heat them they can rupture
Yes - naturally
@@HBPowerwall what do you use all these cells for?
Nice job man, neat, organized install.
Thank-You
I moved a box similar to your box by my self, I bought 20 PVC pipes that were a foot longer than my box was wide. Laying them on the ground under the box, I was able to slide it back. Yes, I would uncover a pipe and move back behind. I had 2 sand bags to stop it from rolling too far. One in the back, one in front, move the bag to keep it from rolling back.
Move the bag in back, drop in a pipe and keep going. Hardest part was getting all the pipes out from under. A floor jack did the job.
Nice
I too, hope to someday have a wife as helpful as yours.

Everything, lol renew.org.au/renew-magazine/solar-batteries/new-battery-installation-rules/
@@HBPowerwall Ouch solar just got real expensive.
I would use stainless steel vs zinc plated fasteners to clamp together the terminal lugs. Also, toss in a conical washer on either side to accommodate for the expansion of the fasteners from heat. Add some Penetrox/Noalox/Oxguard, and you're golden!
I did consider that but there is almost zero heat under any normal load - like the idea of Penetrox tho - thank-you

@@theldraspneumonoultramicro405 everybody uses existing technology to make things. Did Apple come up with any new technology with the iPod? Or the iPhone?
What happens if one battery bursts into flames? Will it start a chain reaction and others will start to burn also? How could that be prevented?
One would hope the CID activates , if that doesn't the cell fuse, if that fails the container will contain the fire till it burns itself out
Smoke detectors, alarm, power disconnect, heat sensors and automatic extinguishers?
Wouldn't you want to protect your investment?
How do the pros handle this?🤔
@@HBPowerwall th-cam.com/video/Q4qQ1IV4gWQ/w-d-xo.html
I’m here to tell you even the pros put their battery packs in a container and if you have a thermal runaway you close the container door and let it burn itself out. Not much will stop a lithium fire
Alan Hillyard where does the smoke go?
Wont the container explode?
Doesnt need a fire oxygen from the outside?
If so, this container will be a big ass long lasting enviroment warmer without oxygen and fire burning.
2:40 "Extra layer of safety".... glad he mentioned safety, didn't see any so far 😂
Would the 1000s of cell level fuses be considered safety?

Thanks for watching!
Now your talking about alot of work sir, Whoa! The rules are regulations are crazy...But honestly prolly needed..Good luck sir, keep the videos rolling...
You got that right! But gota be done...
Any electrician who looks at this would facepalm.
Why?
Fuck me i'm ment to do all that before it's installed?
dam I got two feet, that'll add 60 bucks to the project costs... might as well give up now and bin the whole lot..
Excellent your channel for a long time I try to see and learn about how to build a solar panel unit and save the energy from them. What you did was something monstrous and powerful.
Awesome, thank you!
Hey now you have more roof space for the new array lol. and the supervisor is always right.
You got that right!
The voice volume is mighty low, and the sound effects WAY too loud.
HOWEVER, I find it fascinating what you've done so far.
Yeh, had a few small complaints about the audio - didn't have another few hours to go through it all over again to fix. The auto level is a horrible tool on PowerDirector
Yeah I'm the same, and it's actually painful because of my tinnitus. I have to turn up the voice to hear it, but then the music blows my ears out. Ears are supposed to naturally adjust for volumes, but mine are set to 11 permanently.
Also the generic TH-cam royalty free music is not only terrible it's also in millions of TH-cam videos and therefore annoying and it does not add any value to your otherwise great videos.
@@SidneyCritic Tinnitus by itself shouldn't be painful. Could be clogged earwax, or a brain tumor. Or anxiety disorder (don't worry it's definitely maybe not a tumor)
It’s probably a tumour 😆
Moving that thing was hard! How difficult is it to get a new wife in Australia?
Going to say that would be a rewarding task lol even if it took way longer replacing would be easier than fixing HAAHAHA
Tell her it’s a bomb shelter and the russkies will be at the gates in about a week. If that don’t fix nothing then yes, green light’s on for replacement.
Oh shit man. Never thought about that. Still great work.

Love your Video keep your head up man
Thanks buddy
"Pulled myself heaps today"😂
Look i'm not saying its true... but it is...
Looks good. But why 18650 and how do U replace em when they fail? I was going to make one (much much smaller) on 18650 but any calculations says that LiFePO4 is easier to build and cheaper to buy. They also bigger and easier to replace.
PS @ recovered from old laptops@ OK so you got them probably cheap. But it is still time consuming process of testing them, right?
The build video your way would let’s face it prey average lol 😂
Container is a smart idea and a hiab would of made life easier and as a tech guy this is like the ultimate UPS.
One day i will stop living on cents and have some fun cause i made an electric ATV but couldn't afford decent batteries to run it properly (also person who sold me motor sold me half capacity batteries and said i should of known when he provided the specs 7amp is a big leap from the 20amp per cell as they were meant to be) and sad thing i had to convert it back to gas to sell and the motor+batteries ended.
Keep up the hard work

Thank you! Cheers!
Dumb question. It has been suggested, over and over, that I put a BMS on my Chevy Volt cells, meaning, each 4.0 V cell, in every pack. Why wouldn't it be equally appropriate to put a BMS on each and every one of your individual cells ? or am I missing something ?
Your missing something - I only need one BMS per 191P battery
Love the time lapse. Most people have No idea what work really is
I can usually tell if i worked hard by the two days in bed recovering lol
OOOOOO Finally got your shipping container!!!!!!💥🤘
Only been talking about it for how many years lol
How long would pack of old laptop batteries last as far as years of use before they would need replaced? I thought that these ion cell last about ten years or so. Do you match up the internal resistance ?
IR IS with in 20 or so, my current battery is 4 years of full time use and still going strong (with maintance)
How much did this all cost? And where can I get them?
Your wife and mine must be related! I told mine early on "You can tell me 'What' or 'How' not both" - it works most of the time. Nice job on the Batt BTW!
I do as i'm told its just easier lol
I built my own electric bike battery. One day on my way ro work I heard a guy yell " You have a flat tire". . I remember thinking "im hauling ass, i would know if i had a flat". Right about then i felt heat and watched flames come shooting out of my battery. The man wasnt yelling at me about a flat tire.. He was yelling "Your bikes on fire" ! And he was right! It was on fire. 6yrs of ebike battery building and my first battery failure.. Id rather get my heart rate up riding.. The fire got it up higher i think.. Be safe building these. Match your cells. Use bms system. Wire system with redundancy.. That allows u to catch it before u have a fire👍
Batrium BMS on all my batteries, super low draw and charge rates and never run hot. Caution is still a requirement
Appreciate the work ethic. Get'r done
Thanks for tuning in
Well done
How much charge does this hold compared to the tesla powerwall 2? So pretty much how many Tesla powerwall 2s of power does your set up hold?
About 2
So much work, with Li-Ion cells. High density, but so much easier to get the needed AH's with LiFePO4, plus much lower risk of individual cell failures.
After the last week of personal experience I couldn't agree more.
lol good ol' husky.... "Oh! You want to put it around here... lemme just dig a big ol' hole for you right where you can sprain an ankle" "Am I a good boy? Where my treat!?"
then she crapped it in lolz had to edit that part...
und wie weiss man ob eine einzelne (oder merere )defekt sein könnte?
3:30 "Rules are rules" he says while wearing an anarchy shirt.
Nah, I'm just kidding, he's a good man.

Thanks 👍

I just started with 100p 7s
;D
How much can this power? If let’s say the power goes out and you need to use the batteries to power the refrigerator and the lights around the house. How long can the set up last?
25kwh so 1kw for 25 hours 500watts for 50 hours 100watts for a bloody long time..
