Battery balancer connexion

Hi everyone!

I have two questions about the connexion of the Battery Balancer (BB):

  1. Do I need to put fuses on the wiring? It is not indicated on the manual.
  2. How the BB works? Does it "steal" energy from the higher voltage battery to introduce it into the battery with the lower voltage? Or it just "burns" the energy? I have downloaded the webApp, but it is not clear.

Thank you very much!


Fernando

In my opinion, every wire in a power system should be fused/protected.


As long as there is a differential voltage, power will be drawn from the higher voltage battery and disappated as heat, up to 1A. It is not shunted.
