parallel chargers are iffy. but you can always try it. Hook chargers in parallel without anything else. just positive to positive and negative to negative. if the lights stay red when its just the chargers in parallel then theres no current flowing from one charger into another. problem is, if there is an issue, itll probably damage one of the chargers
and these are 12 supplies in series. not parallel.
Use a separate fuse on each charge port
Or a diode right? On the line? I need to series them anyway haha
The diode will bring down the charge voltage
Ah trueā¦ i planned on shooting over. I was going to do 3 or 4 psu depending on their voltage output.
No, two 10S chargers in parallel
What type of charge port is that? Also, what company makes those chargers?
Chargeport is not a normal one, but name is YZ-20
What do yāall think of these?
For the lights, does this diagram indicate I wonāt need a step down transformer / converter? Iām looking into how to light my board at the moment, and Iāve read Iāll need some type of way to step the voltage on the battery down to something acceptable to the LEDsā¦ Does the BMS handle that? Iāve ordered this BMS for my 12S battery: Smart BMS ā 12S ā esk8Life and plan to bypass the discharge component of it. Thanks!
There are many ways to add lighting, some need a step down and some donāt. Most do. Itās highly specific on exactly which lights, how theyāre connected, what your battery voltage is, what you want to achieve, how failures are handled, et cetera
This is a good question. On a charge only balance wiring, can you set up output current limits within a Smart BMS to (reliably) output say 5V for an Arduino or 12V to directly power a string of LEDs from the P-?
a BMS is a battery management system designed to manage a battery and add protection
a BUC converter is used to step down voltages from a DC to a lower DC voltage
witch one do you think you need to power you Arduino (you also need to regular amps on LEDāS)
I have been using this, and Iām happy with them, they havenāt given me any problems
They are really sturdy and donāt have any wear
And they are supposed to be able to withstand 30Amps

I havenāt seen this acronym used for a buck converter before, only for satellite frequency converters. What does the āBUCā stand for?
Iāll take one
