Can it be done?
In this instructional video we’ll show you how to install our BMS on a Tesla battery module.

A Battery Management System (BMS) is the device that protects a lithium battery from damage, allowing you to use a Salvaged/Used/Recycled Tesla electric car battery module in your off-grid power system.

This video covers both revision B and revision C Tesla modules.
