Hi,
I'm building the electrical circuit of my van, I've got the LiFePO4 battery and the Blue Smart IP65 Charger and an inverter, the question is: how can I prevent the charger from "charging" the inverter when the battery is disconnected ? (for example because of the BMS or the main switch)?
This situation may be dangerous as the inverter is basically a big capacitor charged with a constant current, how this situation should be managed ?
Thanks
Unplug the charger when you disconnect the battery.
LOL
this is not sufficient: for example the main fuse (between the battery and the rest of the circuit) may blow and in few seconds the charger will blow the inverter capacitors.
The only way I see is to detect the battery disconnection and then automatically disconnect all the chargers: note that this situation may occur even with solar charges, dc/dc converter (from the van engine)....
Is there any product that can detect this ?
