Battery charging - auto switch on for fan
CS wrote:
I want to fit a small fan to vent my battery box when the battery is charging. I only want the fan to run during charging, so was thinking of a relay that would only close when the voltage is above 28v or so. Any ideas??? What's the charging source? Switch the fan on based upon the presence of the charging source. An AC relay for a shore powered charger, a relay off an engine signal (oil pressure) for the alternator, a relay ahead of a blocking diode off of a solar panel, etc. As long as there's a power source, there's no harm in running a small brushless fan (brushless to prevent igniting a hydrogen buildup) continuously. -- Paul Hovnanian ------------------------------------------------------------------ I think you left the stove on. |
