I'm considering purchasing the battery out of a low mileage BMW i3 for a project I'm planning (conversion of a Honda Pilot FL400 offroad buggy from petrol to electric) but can't find a huge amount of information about them either on here or elsewhere on the internet. What I've found so far and my assumptions:
- The battery pack contains 8 modules, each of which has 12 cells
- 60Ah battery
- I think they might be Samsung SDI NMC prismatic cells
- Total battery capacity 21KWh/22KWh (depending on which source of information you go by)
- Nominal battery voltage 355V
- I know the latest BMW i3 uses 94Ah Samsung prismatic cells
A couple of quite useful videos on YouTube of someone dismantling an i3 battery:

If anyone has any more information they can add that would be great. I'm really keen to find out what sort of constant current these cells can take and burst currents too.
Has anyone used the batteries from a BMW i3 for a project?
