BYD Atto 3 battery dismantle P1

Stripping the 60kWh blade battery pack out of a BYD ATTO 3

Unfortunately my best laid plans of removing the cells for a project have been ruined due to the cells being glued into place. I'll still end up using the cells but they have to remain in the case and just be rewired to suit my needs

must respect the technical people and the engineers like this person in the video.
This is hard work. Politicians and lawyers cannot survive doing 1 hour of this job.

No wonder EVs cost so much. Certainly more sophisticated and detailed than I imagined

[peternagy]

What I gather from this video:
1. EV batteries are much more complicated than I have thought.
2. Now I understand why the cost of replacement is so high; also why there are no practical way to repair them.
3. At the end of their life the battery dismantling facility has to be very sophisticated operation - certainly not a scrap yard.
4. Chinese are way ahead.

This video is a great service for all mankind! Thank you!

BYD before they became EV cars they are manufacturing battery company like Laptop, telephone including they supplied Motorola and Nokia batteries during the 90s and 20s so therefore I trust them when comes to batteries because they are expertise

Thank you very much for the video from Spain! 👏👏👏 At first, I was happy, watching that it was possible to remove the cover, but after, things changed... it is a pity that repairs are not feasible, at least easily...

Thank you very much for your work and for all the information that you have offered in the comment section 😁😁😁😁😁

I know some taxi in Shenzhen using BYD EVS. In 4-5 years these ev-taxi has run about 600k-700k KM. And the bettary in these EVS still in very good performance state.

Mr. Brenden, Congratulations on this monumental work that nobody has the will and effort to undertake.
Assuming if i had done all this risky job and if this battery was faulty repairing or replacing without having genuine parts will render this work as useless. Love and respect for your great effort.

I just tested the Seal and I'm blown away! ICE feels like a thing of the past now. This is the future, and it's mind-blowing! This looks like some 10, 000+ mobile phones joined together. The engineering behind it is incredible! Sure, there's a bit of a scary thought if one phone catches fire, but hey, bring it on! 🔥

Wow. Hat's off to you guys.
Very interesting to watch.
Definitely you guys working hard I guess.
Waiting for part two

Now I can see BYD did a decent job on battery pack. Thanks for the hard work! I remembered seeing somewhere a more messy battery pack of Tesla....

Accidentally coming across your video from Shanghai, China, I found it quite intriguing. What I can share with you is that the cost of replacement batteries is typically about half the price of the vehicle itself, which is comparable to the repair expenses for a mid-range vehicle☺

[abgoodman]

No one in the Western World should underestimate the Chinese again. Wisdom varies and knowledge us wide.✌️✌️✌️

Belo vídeo amigo, parabéns, você é um profissional de verdade !

Wow, what a job. You have to admire the engineering that goes into modern EV batteries. I’ve personally seen inside a Tesla battery and was blown away, amazing stuff.

[petewright]

I run an off grid power system that uses two batteries from Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs. Easiest to dismantle and reconfigure. Cells can be individually lifted out and have M8 studs for connecting!

[nelson]

very good effort, these batteries are an Art and very complex - hence battery recycling is not easy even commercially.

[snowcrazed]

Maybe in future we should be building home power systems to use the batteries as-is. Of course we'll need to build an open source thing that can talk to the BMS and all that, but it's far easier than dismantling, removing cells, building a new enclosure, building new battery management... I doubt we'd be able to home-build anything with a nicer form factor than this, just lean the battery pack against a wall and bolt it so it doesn't tip over, and connect some wires to it and you're presumably set :D

[ctackney]

I see BYD went to great lengths to make this battery pack serviceable with the use of pop rivets !!! Recycling this battery pack at the end of it's life will also be very difficult.

[miles]

Adhesives are typically the means by which low costing electronics manufacture of this sort are made possible. However, if recycling was ever part of the overall calculus, the overall costs go upwards fast trying to dismantle those adhesives.

This shows you the technical prowess of the designers of batteries and EVs. It is not that easy or straightforward.
