How to deal with more than 128 Cells? #188

Open Ipirk88 opened 1 month ago

Ipirk88 commented 1 month ago

Hello, i have connected 128 LiFepo4 Cells (18S 8P) via 8 pcs "All In One Module V490" to an "Controller Board V4.6" and that all is connected via Can Bus to an 48V Victron System.

Now i want to extend my Storrage to another 64 LiFepo4 Cells - total 192 Cells (16S 12P) (maby in the future more). How can i extend the System in that direction - i am fine when i have to use two Controller Boards - to IP adresses, ... But how to make shure that the Victron get all informations??

Next thing is the Shunt - i have now one 500A/50mV Shunt installed, but i want to use two 500A/50mV Shunts in parallel (i have limited space in hight - the 1000A Shunt will not fit.)??

So how to deal with that all? Any ideas?

Thanks so much for such a asome project! Best regards, Ingo Pirker

You could compile the code to handle more than 128 cells, this has never been tested or required until now, but you can just change a single number up to 256.
