Joe,

I think that is a great idea. I would like to see that, followed by an evolution toward more complex electrical systems. Start with the most basic. Then add a component/feature and explain h ...

Bob,

I think your idea for a single expandable drawing makes a lot of sense. I envision an edition of the Connnection that uses the simplest possible version of the drawing to explain basic concep ...

I have a battery charger that senses vibration caused when the engine is started, and uses that as a trigger. I wouldn't have any idea how to procure or implement a vibration sensor as a trigger f ...

Nikkai (NKK) switches seem good to me and they are available in fast on configuration.

Matt, what you say makes sense to me. Plus, if there is a problem, these possible causes, no matter how remote, have already been eliminated.

I'm asking because I'm interested in using it on a 540 ah lithium battery connected to a 2800 watt inverter.

Am I correct in my interpretation that this device is limited to 100 amp DC?

Quite an achievement. Looks great!

I wonder if there is a vibration sensor that would be appropriate? I know that Sterling has added that feature to their B2B chargers.

I agree with your comment regarding a BMS override switch. Just thought I would throw it against the wall. I'm glad it's not sticking because I see no need for such a switch.

With regards t ...

Ivan, you are correct. There are a lot of examples of LiFe batteries being used without incident. Millions and millions of examples in everything from motorcycles to jetskis to bicycles to, yes, airpl ...

I'm not sure the 20% cut off number is accurate; I suspect that it is not. But putting that aside, there is another way of looking at this--all batteries have a limited capacity. Lead acid batteri ...

system cannot normally do is cell charge balancing."

Isn't it also true that LiFePO batteries can be damaged by chargin ...
