My personal opinion assuming 12A drain...Hi Jimmy
Put me down for 2 - hopefully your JM-PhD-C1 will be along shortly too !
Now Vlow - Cut-Off set points ? ? ?
Can you and Lux etc. check this for me ?
Errors etc? so I can correct it and then you may want to link to it in post #1
for a guide ?
My best guess for Regulator settings for Vlow - set as CellVlow x Cells
Based on info from AW threads
LiFe and LiMn based on these graphs and 5-10A rate ! and an old test I did
FMA A123 Datesheet
e-Moli Testing RC-Tester WattFlyer.com
Have a good trip and I will let you know my setups when everyone has checked my Vlow chart ! ! !
Cheers
Pete
eMoli:
3.3V/cell for up to 4S
3.4V/cell for over 4S
A123:
2.8V/cell for up to 4S
2.9V/cell for over 4S.
I'm just adding a little safety factor for larger cell counts.
The nice thing about the A123s is that they hold ~3.3V really well under load. You just have to watch out for the dip in voltage early in the discharge cycle under really heavy loads. However, if you're drawing 45A from your A123s, you shouldn't be using this regulator.
