I've got a GBS 100ah LifePO4 pack I've been sitting on for a couple of months. I finally have time to go through the bottom balancing procedure, so I've made my list of things to do in order, and now I'm starting to think about operating the pack on a regular basis. Which means I'll need to get my LVD operational sometime soon.
I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/LVD-Low-Voltag.../dp/B01B52H98C which comes with this wiring diagram: http://jumpycalm.com/file/LVD.pdf
That LVD has a disconnect voltage of 11.6V on a 15 second delay, which is a bit low for sub-C operation, but I think it'll be fine.
The C rating for this pack is 3C, so, while I'll probably never draw anywhere close to 3C from the pack, I guess I should buy a 12V 300 amp relay?
I see this 12V 150 amp golf cart solenoid: http://www.amazon.com/CONTINUOUS-SOL.../dp/B008R1T5IM
Looks like it draws 6 watts when it's on. Seems like a fairly large power draw. Is there a more efficient way to do this?
Thanks.
