I am trying to build the following grid charger / discharger that I designed for my 2008 Civic IMA battery. It is not yet tested.I already ordered the components.Hope it works.Any criticisms or suggestions for improvement?
Thank you
Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry but my English is a little "rusty".
As I already ordered the LPC-100-350, I am thinking of putting a resistance in series with the LED driver to reduce the voltage (maybe 120 or 150 ohm / 20W).I could also place a switch in parallel with the resistance to short circuit when the battery reaches higher voltages.
I know that the 500ohm resistance makes the discharge very long but I am thinking of placing a socket in the box to connect additional external loads in parallel with the internal resistance (such as 230V lamps).
The protection diode you refer to, must be placed in series with the LED driver (on the positive pole), right?
Is the purpose of the diode to protect the PS during charging, during discharge, or both?During the discharge, the circuit is interrupted at the negative pole by means of the switch (2).
