Hi from Belgium

Hi 18650 community,

I'm Arnaud, land surveyor in Belgium.
I started collecting laptop batteries for a 24v powerwall project with 3*215Wc 30v solar panels.
I tried to start for cheap (planned 2*100WC panels to test first) and using cheap solar charger and old computer ups as inverterbut Ichange my mind a lot and improve/make more expensive
So now I have few hundreds (450?) 18650 to test and approx 400 high capacitystill in there laptop batteries.

Hi Arnaud,

welcome here in forum!

So you have approximately 450 cells and 400 high capacity laptop batteries?
If every battery has 6 to 9 pieces of cells it means that you have additionaly tousands of cells - is that right?
If yes, it is a good beginning!

Hi BigBen,

450 cells already unpacked and approx 400 cells still in their packs (+-45 packs of 9 cells), not 400 packs unfortunately

Looking forward to seeing new videos from you Rudi!
You're the one actually pushing me over to really start my own powerwall project
So before I catch up with just building packs, I need to learn what to combine to enable solar-power to feed my powerwall

Bonjour, nous ne nous connaissons pas, mais nous partageons surement la mme passion, puisque nous sommes membres de ce forum.

Je vous crit car, aprs avoir dmantel environ 900 batteries, je viens de m'engager sur 1000 batteries supplmentaires.

La personne m'en propose en fait 1500 de plus, et je pense ne pas en avoir besoin.
Au vu des difficults que j'ai rencontr pour en trouver, j'ai pens que cela pourrait interesser les membres de notre communaut.

Le prix serait de 2 euros 2.50 euros (beaucoup DELL, + quelques HP, Lenevo, etc...), disponibilit sur Paris ou Orlans.
Sont aussi proposes des batteries neuves, mais j'ai jaiss la chose floue pour ne pas faire trop monter les prix (je ne sais donc pas les quantits, prix, et marques).
Je vais aller chercher les 1000 batteries ce week-end, et ai promis de donner une rponse pour le supplment pour deux semaines de plus.

Si vous etes intress, merci de me rpondre, ou de me joindre par mail (sabado234@gmail.com)

Merci.
Christian
