I think all you have to do is disconnect pin1, and it will kill power.

hydro-one said:pretty much exactly what im doing. the charge relay will be latching, and high amperage. The charge will be normally closed. how will you engage the cellog power relays from the charger source? I assume your charge controller has some 5v available?
Balancing will be accomplished by a: quattro 4x6 on custom balance harness with 25 pin plug to 20s battery.
b: custom single cell charger switched to each cell idividually by a magnet and reed switches. i forget who to give credit for this idea!! this is a "top up" to go along with the meanwell(?)

No problem, as long as you are using the included USB or one with the ground removed from the "shield" to prevent any possible common ground with your computer and power supply. Also note that you can use any USB cable if you are working with a laptop running on battery or if using a battery source (i.e. Pb) to feed the charger.myzter said:any issues when having the CellLog 8S monitor connected to a 8 cell series battery pack when charging using a AC regulated switching power supply?
is this okay to do, or should the CellLog be disconnected when charging ?
