Forgot to say: The main reason I have that Model S pack in the workshop is
to provide power for testing drive units. It's sort of overkill for a
home backup. I've never used more than about 10% during a power outage,
but it's sure nice to know it's there!

My backup is a complete 85kWh pack from a 2014 Tesla Model S which is
hooked to a 15kW split-phase inverter made by Bel (out of production), but
with some crafty software on my controller I can go open my main breaker on
the meter and turn on that system. It fires up the whole hose, then when
Portland Oregon area just experienced a wind/cold event that took away
power from 150,000+.
I have a new in the box 7500 watt tri-fuel generator but had not set it up
yet (of course).
My model 3 was charged, but not setup with an inverter yet due to lack of
motivation, but our Rav4 Prime
had a
It was a Chinese-made Pioneer, I don't recall the model, but it was the
larger of the two offered at the time (about 10 years ago), the smaller one
had an AC fan, and the larger one was BLDC. It had a PFC boost function
to about 400VDC. It was hooked to an 85kWh 16 module pack. Since the

Yes, I tried to get worst case with heat mode at 86F with the outside temp at
17F, got 6.5A. In cool mode with less differential I measured 5.1A

The power drawn by the heat pump depends on the delta-T (temperature
differences) and demand (fan speed).

That's pretty neat. Reminds me of what people have done with direct ties to
Prius packs (PriUPS).
Can you share any specific mini split models that you have seen, or heard
of, being used this way?
Which Tesla pack? Was this with a 350v DC (14 module) or 400v DC Tesla pack
(16 module) legacy
Thanks Phil
Sounds like a project :-)
I also have a Schneider SW4024 that powers the well pump and fridge during a
power outage but the LiFePO4 batts are only 7KWh tied to 1200W solar panels and
a Bergey XL-1 (1KW rated) but at night in a storm probably only get 5KWh out.
I just measured the
I have successfully hooked a Mini-Split (240v) up to a Tesla pack
directly. You have to perform an analysis to make sure it can support DC,
and there are only a few that can, as most of the indoor-unit fans use AC
motors, but there are a few that use BLDC. You would not be able to do
this with
Hi Folks,
I was reading Otmar's inverter connection to a Tesla-3 and looks like Tesla
makes it really difficult to run a 1500W 12V inverter from their EVs. My
Bolt shows 130A available from its DC-DC converter, just clamp the Harbor
Fright inverter (have 1500W with 200A inline breaker, short
