So a friend of mine who is into the DIY electric cars hooked me up with this thing... I'm really tempted to try to use this in some sort of electrical project in my 4Runner but not really sure yet.
It's just a really cool battery but its not really a drop-in thing for your standard 12v applications.... one reason is because its a 24v pack consisting of 6 lithium cells. I think they would refer to this as a 6S1P battery pack.
All I know about it is it came out of a modern production EV, I was told a Fiat 500e with about 5000 miles on it. After some googling I found a picture of the battery module in the chassis. I believe it was manufactured by Bosch/Samsung.
I have some experience with LiPo, LiFePO4, IMR, and a few others but mostly from 18650 and RC stuff. First time tinkering with a large format lithium pack like this.
Going to dig into this over the weekend to see if I can learn more about it before throwing it into the truck and burning it to the floor.
Anyone around here an EV Tech? I am going to sign up at the Fiat forums to see if anyone knows what I am looking at, or if there is some type of spec sheet available.
Just figure I share... not something you see everyday and can't help but want to use it for something in the 4Runner. If it's just not viable ill use it at home for something... probably just keep it around for emergency power.
