Buys R150k battery. Blows it up by fiddling with BMS.

Now we have the data sheet thanks to @P924! - https://www.bluenova.co.za/files/datasheets/2019/26V/BN26V-620-16k.pdf

I was under the impression this was a dinky battery, this is reasonably substantial at 16KW, so yeah, don't mess with it!

As suggested, contact Blue Nova, they'll probably be able to change out the BMS for you for a smallish fee.

The chemistry is "Lithium Iron Yttrium Phosphate". Opening this thing is liking pissing into the wind. You'll regret it.
