The Truth about my EV Battery Home Energy Storage!

After my last video showing how I connected an electric vehicle battery to my home energy system, the comments section exploded with questions. In this video I go through some of the most common questions people asked about EV batteries used for home energy storage including safety, installation, grid interaction, and how the system actually performs in the real world. This video is a follow-up where I address the concerns raised by viewers and explain how the system works, what I would do differently, and where this project is heading next. Using repurposed EV batteries for home energy storage could play a big role in the future of energy systems. As electric vehicles age, their batteries can still store large amounts of energy and may be repurposed for grid support, home storage, and renewable integration. In this video we cover: • EV battery home energy storage safety • installation considerations • electrical protection and breakers • real-world operation of EV batteries in a home system • future projects including heat pumps and renewable integration ⸻ Helpful Links & Resources V Check - Check your battery before purchasing https://www.vcheck.uk/?aid=103737 Recommended EV Battery Breakers EV breaker supplier: Option 1 – Cheapest (by a long way): Afi– West Bromwich, West Midlands Phone/whatsapp +44 7898 943917 Please mention Battery Man when you speak to him. If you’d prefer something more professional and organised, there are other options, but expect to pay noticeably more: EV breakers (Northern Ireland) Professional outfits, will ship across the UK. Reliable, but significantly more expensive than option 1. Ace Car Breakers (London) Can ship in the UK. Stock tends to be limited, prices are okay when available. Will deliver. Trade Parts North East (Grimsby) Good, down-to-earth people. Not the cheapest, and last I checked collection was preferred. Whichever route you choose, please mention Battery Man. It helps them know where the enquiry came from and helps keep doors open for future deals. I don’t handle sales, money, or transport, and as always with breakers, make sure you’re happy with what you’re buying before handing over cash. ______ 🔧 Core Hardware Used in This Build Redispose Store – https://shop.redispo.se/batteryman Stark CRM – https://shop.redispo.se/irlrr5 Stark Box Basic – https://shop.redispo.se/3lcbxf DF Electric fuse holder 22×58 – https://shop.redispo.se/6oyi21 DF Electric gBat fuse 22×58 – https://shop.redispo.se/pzm7ha DF Electric fuse holder 14×51 – https://shop.redispo.se/ilznsa DF Electric gBat fuse 14×51 – https://shop.redispo.se/qwaoqy Terminal block – https://shop.redispo.se/5ncwdf DC isolator – https://shop.redispo.se/xo3z7f Emergency stop (E-stop) – https://shop.redispo.se/wkjj2z Nissan LEAF secondary HV cover – https://shop.redispo.se/m4haoj ⸻ 🧠 CAN & Communication Hardware (AliExpress) LilyGo T-CAN485 – https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c2x...
