Superb! It takes a lot of effort to make a complicated thing seem clear and logical. Thank you for all the efforts from everyone involved. I guess I have a project for the spare 30kWh leaf battery I have lying around (when the EV conversion is done….)! I never quite understood the name though. Seems that is it not ‘emulating’ a battery, it’s more a control system for a real battery isn’t it? I know, I know, when I build my own software solution I’m free to call it what i want :)
It is so amazing what you‘ve built 🎉 thank you so much ... i already ordered all the necessary hw and i‘m looking forward to set it up - by the help of That video it should even get easier 😅
Hi Dala, this is a great run through and I only wish that there were easy/cheap packs out here in Australia! One thing which is becoming more available are new high voltage packs at reasonable prices (compared to a PW). One exampe is a Fox EP11. Could I connect this to my Gen24 inverter with this solution?
Fantastic video Dala - very helpful. I have a planned application that needs a high voltage battery dc input - no inverter required. Would that “turn on contactors” button you showed do the trick?
does the battery from imiev work without the module's BMU? I check this function but I don't know if the "message id 0x6e4:" comes direct from the CMU or redirect BMU
@@DalasEVRepair I don't think rev eng is needed as Sofar provides files with all modbus communication - will check it out and I might try to commit some code then
Hi Dala. Thx for the great Work! Is there a chance to "translate" the RS485 from to an other Brand as well? I woud like to switch my inverter from Sungrow to Solax but still use the Sungrow Battery for a while until the "big" one is build.
The reason for requiring new packs is that Tesla during the 2010-2020 period released so many software variants for the vehicles, and each software version shuffled around the CAN data. So a vehicle from 2015 will have vastly different CAN mappings, depending on the year it was taken out of service. Tesla stopped this practice at 2020+ The way that people get around this massive problem, is that they start by flashing a known software version onto the battery before using it in secondlife application. There are commercial options for this available, for instance Ingenext controller . However this controller is extremely expensive (3,735.00 USD) compared to the Battery-Emulator which is free. To get proper support for all Tesla batteries, we will need to figure out how to flash Tesla software.

The project has become really big, congratulations🎉
Excellent! Great balance between information specific to the Battery-Emulator software, and general development and deployment information. Thanks!
Thank you for a great presentation and demonstration in how to configure this. It will help a lot of people 😃👍🏻
Super,
Congratulations also to the cat and the artistic achievement/direction👍
Brilliant work and tutorial many thanks
Superb work!!!
Simplified the explanations for even the layman.
Looking forward for MG ev battery to be included the list.
I love it, currently in the market for a battery .. to continue this journey!
Great work Daniel! Thank you!
You are a good man, well done on all the hard work!
Most appreciated content, thank you for all your work!

Thanks! It started out emulating fake brand-inverter batteries (hence the name), but it has grown into so much more!

Be sure to join the Discord incase you need more support!
Absolutely outstanding efforts, huge thanks
Once again, great work :) And Thanks!
Super helpful, thanks.
A very nice walkthrough on the project. If I ever get my hands on such a battery, I know where to get the help, thank you Dala!
Cheers 👍💪✌
Thanks a lot, what a monstruous amount of job😮
Again thanks
Super, Great project
Thank you so much! Good job!
I recommend allowing SOC to drop to 10% or even 7%. It is totally ok under low loads like grid.
Yeah it's fully configurable by end users, so anyone can decide how much they want to push their batteries! 🔋
Nice video, this video was very behövlig. /Capitan

We can add support for it easily, since we already have the inverter side FoxESS protocol. Log a Github issue and I can make it happen
@@DalasEVRepair Thanks for responding Dala, I've logged a Github request as suggested!
Fantastic video Dala - very helpful. I have a planned application that needs a high voltage battery dc input - no inverter required. Would that “turn on contactors” button you showed do the trick?
It works fine running without inverter protocol yes!
Is the guide compatible with any cat or only the lovely skogskatt/skaukatt?
Long-haired perform slightly better yes 😂
Is it possble to use prismatic cells also with high voltage hybrid inverters? 64 x 3,2 V = 204,8 volts, or 128 x 3,2 V 209,6 volts.
Yes, we support custom batteries via RJXZS BMS. See the Github Wiki page for more info
@@DalasEVRepair Thanks, I am waiting teravoima 120 kWh / 240 kWh battery first.. Plan B is prismatic cells with sungrow hybrid inverter
Great! )))

See the wiki page for the Triplets: github.com/dalathegreat/Battery-Emulator/wiki/Battery:-i%E2%80%90Miev-CZero-Ion
Will be Sofar supported the same way? I mean CAN -> battery modbus->inverter
Sofar is supported. See the Sofar wiki page for info on how to set it up via CAN
@@DalasEVRepair surely did that already but was wondering about modbus support - is it planned or shared CAN is enough?
@@emceh No sense in starting a new reverse engineering effort for this inverter, since we already have a way of using it via CAN
@@DalasEVRepair I don't think rev eng is needed as Sofar provides files with all modbus communication - will check it out and I might try to commit some code then

Not supported at the moment, but it can be implemented if we get some logs!
Where can we buy the stark? I can’t find it anywhere online :(
It's in the Wiki github.com/dalathegreat/Battery-Emulator/wiki#where-do-i-get-the-hardware-needed
Very interesting! Is there also a way to use older Tesla Model S/X batteries with a high voltage inverter?
