martyg Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 It doesn't seem to have an automatic change over from main power to battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmanjohn Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 It's a control board, rather than a stand-alone unit. I guess you locate it after your transformed and rectified AC supply at which point "The unit automatically switches the power path in between Battery and Main DC input and provides buck/boost output regulation." Hence my suggestion that it might be good for people wanting to build a customised power distribution system. Sorry for any confusion.

martyg Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I made a little power dist. system a year ago, but my arthritis stopped me finishing it. Was quite nice 12amps,6 outs, V and Amps monitoring, Group switching on 2 busses, or individual on/off switching, option 5V @ 1 amp for USB thingies Just sitting in the never finished box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
