How to Tesla Model Y Battery as Home Backup?
OK
I know I need an inverter and like a bunch of like electronic other stuff and switches and DC AC and full bridge rectifier and yada yada yada yada yada yada . Specifically, I am asking how I get data from the penthouse of the battery on my computer so I can see the voltage is across the battery. I’m concerned about the battery health and if the battery is viable or if I will have to make any repairs to any of the cells. I have a connector for the battery already, but I’m not sure how I should wire it in such a way that I can plug it into my computer. I know that it needs three wires going to 12 V (how does that even work?) and a few other wires going for data. I was thinking of using ethernet as the interface, but I think USB will technically work. I know that there are some pins that I have to short out because in a YouTube video I saw, the guy was talking about blowing out resistors. I think I need 50 to 100 oh resistors to short out some of the pins, but I’m not sure. Does anyone have any sources to wiring diagrams for this? I have really never done anything like this before and any tips would be helpful. No, I can not afford to have someone else do this for me, so please suggest stuff that is within the realm of possibility for someone with DIY means only. Are there any good communities online for troubleshooting this outside of this sub Reddit? I am familiar with the dala guy and battery man on YouTube who deal with this stuff, but I wasn’t able to find any specific links for this part of the project. They mostly help with the software, but I don’t understand the hardware wiring and really need help with that to get off the ground here.
I’ll help as welcomed!
Thanks
