Hi all.
It’s been quite some time since I posted anything in the forum. Life kinda got In the way.
My father (79) has a few health issues and few years ago I bought him a scooter. It’s a 3 wheeler. It has 2x12v sla 28ah (supposedly 28ah) batteries in Series for 24v.
The lead is not giving anything like the range it used to. And it’s taking ages to charge. So I’ve ordered a 24v 30ah ping battery and charger combo for it.
That part I’m good with.
I have a quick question about the bms and cooling for it when charging. The pack will be mounted inside a plastic tub under the seat of the scooter without much airflow.
I want to hook up a 24v fan that will automatically turn o. When the charger is plugged in and stop when unplugged.
Does anyone know if I can just tap off the wires going from the charger to the BMS to power the fan ?
Or would this just back feed the fan off the battery when the charger is unplugged?
As this is for an older man, who has health issues, I need it to be fully plug and forget. No switches to remember to turn on or off.
Could I run a diode to stop power back feeding the fan from the battery ?
I’m still waiting for the battery to arrive , after stupid customs sent it back to China. With no reason given.
