I use 3x this relais and it works https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005622431177.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.126.d91579d2FEesY4&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld
The battery uses 12V controlled contactors, so use CONTACTOR_CONTROL
if you want Battery-Emulator to also control the contactors via GPIO
Wiring diagrams
The following diagrams will help you to connect to the CAN buses on the Opel/Chevy batteries:
[!NOTE] These batteries have multiple CAN buses that needs to be jumpered together to form one large CAN bus the resistor on the Lilygo must be removed Example, development environment with contactor control via GPIO, and all 3x CAN buses connected together as one single bus
