I should have probably included that datapoint. However, in bench testing here, I've found that the larger SD series tend to have less of this problem, I think just because the amount of inrush required to trip the overcurrent protection is higher on the higher powered units. Still a concern th

If you're willing to burn up around 20-40W of power you could also add a high voltage linear regulator. Or a couple of diodes in series. However, all of those will turn the excess voltage into heat, which is what the 20-40W is... 2V@10A=20W. For The amount you're talking about power wise, the

The gigabit ones will work also, if you use the cable in the cambium manual which is described as going from the CMM4 to the 450i's. When used with a gigabit injector, it will swap the power pins back, and since the 320 and 430 are 10/100 radios, it won't be a problem with the polarity being swa

Your looking for Lithium Ion Polymer of LIFEPO4 Prismatic cells, 16s or 16 in series gives you about 48v at 100ah. or 1600ah @ 4.2v (cell voltage if 16parallel). Then you just need a bms ($50-100) for cell voltage balancing, and if you don't have a LVD most of the higher price bms ($100ish) include

Yep, if you need more than 5A, those are made to work in parallel, and if you want to use 24v batteries, just switch to the DDR-240B-48, and it should work fine. On Thu, Jul 11, 2019 at 6:07 PM Sterling Jacobson wrote: > Oh wait, I see that these can be used in parallel and in different inputs.
