Voltron:
Found a battery pack- a local solar panel installer had a bunch of unused Samsung 22s 94ah storage modules he was selling, so I snagged his last one. These modules slide into a rack of 20 for a substantial storage solution. They have a proprietary BMS system that communicates with the rack main control system.
Nebba heaurd of dem… Dat neat… Tell us moar…

Just kidding,…
yeah, @Inwo and @LithiumGods have put a metric shitton of new 22s SDI packs in the hands of GEM owners, but with real BMSes that you can talk to and control. I wouldn’t count on the OEM bms. The wiring though, is gorgeous.
Just need adapters for the plugs, and I just happen to know a guy…
I just installed Dave’s (@Inwo ) “drop-in” BMS kit for the Samsung 22s SDI packs on a pack going to another forum member.
It’s a super simple install, hardly any tools needed. A little bit of electrical knowledge and a decent working multi-meter make this a snap, but not even that is required IMO.

Won’t even need to take the battery pack out of the box.

Open up the shipping box, locate the single #2 Philips screw on the pack cover. Remove the screw and set aside.
