Manel Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi, I'm building a cart and need some power distribution. Thinking in maximum flexibility and weight control, I thought of using a DBSv4u as the power distributor. I'm using a Fusion, mix 8 and Oktopack. All running, consumes 3Ah far less than the 5Ah maximum power that the unit can handle. Any thoughts on the Idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Goldberger Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Why not? Of course, the main disadvantage over a typical cart power system would be an inability to float a charge over your battery while connected to an AC source, as well as not being able to "hot swap" batteries.

Glen Trew Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 It will be fine as long as the equipment in your cart doesn't grow, but it's not uncommon for the equipment in cart systems to pull 6A and more. Adding a couple of video monitors could put you over the 5A rating of the BDS. But for what you are currently using in your cart, the BDS will be fine, with the other limitations pointed out in the above post.

Manel Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I was going to plug it to a Sealed Acid Battery which is connected to a Charger. (http://www.beehivechargers.com/) Thanks for the advice ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
