Advice on a charger set up please.
Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2013 3:44 pm
Hi,
I am looking for a high power charger to charge my plug in prius lifepo4 battery pack.
The pack has 76 cells in series.
I need a charger and I may have access to an old mes-dea charger that was fitted to a transit converted ev.
From the limited info I have found the charger is controlled by a pwm controller.
I do not have access to the controller, so will the charger work without the controller as a dumb charger, or is it useless without the controller, or can any charger controller work with the charger.
The charger is a 240v to 310 v dc charger and the profile for the charge curve is set in the pwm controller.
So, can I use it as a dumn charger, or is it useless without the pwm controller.
Or, if anyone has a charger they have no use for and want to sell it, let me know.
Many thanks for the advice. Anthony
