Sooo... I'm pretty sure you guys have at least heard of Tesla and their electric cars.
Maybe you've even seen their Powerwall?
I've started making my own.
It started with me finding out I can get batteries at work. Then realising they weren't really that great. Then I happened to come across someone thatknows someone that sells old laptop batteries.
So yeah. I've bought a few...
I then 3D printed myself some battery holders.
I'm doing a 4s configuration, i'll have them in packs of 5.
so 4S5P packs.
This makes it easier to service, and allows me change the config in the future.
I should come back with a DIY Spot welder soon.

Aahhh! So that's what that picture was.

Re: DIY Tesla Powerwall
How many laptop batteries does it take to charge a house
