Chevy Volt Batteries Arrived

I drove out to a salvage yard in Phoenix, AZ to pick up this Chevy Volt battery pack. Even factoring in fuel cost, I spent about one fifth the cost on these batteries.

There is a heavy fiberglass cover bolted to a steel plate beneath.



I still have the same helper, and we got started disassembling it right away.

This battery pack is really a work of art.

The thin box on top is their BMS. The orange harness connects to the cells and the black one is for power and communications that lead out of the pack.
