Battery-Emulator has support for DIY battery packs with self-installed BMS modules.

CAUTION

If you are unsure of your technical knowhow, avoid building a high voltage battery from scratch.

The entire Battery-Emulator project sets out to achieve safe re-use of EV batteries. By building your own battery, you will be taking larger risks. Cell balancing wire taps, shunts, busbar connections, BMS integration, temperature monitoring, fuses, contactors, interlocks, insulation etc. all will have to be implemented by yourself instead of using a pre-made product. As with all things custom, there are higher risks of human error. Take extra precaution when working on a custom DIY HV battery, you have been warned.

CAUTION

Working with high voltage is dangerous. Always follow local laws and regulations regarding high voltage work. If you are unsure about the rules in your country, consult a licensed electrician for more information.
