It uses a MCR264 4 Motorola 9612 Mosfet to control the negative side output. I'm only getting 21vdc out of the diode bridge. I suspect the mosfet is bad. As I remember the polarity was reversed. The board is a PC1029N REV. D 94V0. I shorted the input or other side to the center leg with my test lead and the amber light goes on. I suspect it isn't switching anymore.. A replacement might fix it. Can I just buy this board? I've seen many different versions of this charger with the same case. It has the handle built in. Is heavy and outputs 5 amps.

It seems ThunderSky's prices have gone up about 25% in the last 2 months, which means they've lost most of their cost advantage over PHET (and others), and with all this talk of dodgy business practices, it's given me reason for pause. So once again I'm entertaining the idea of building a pack from 18650s (yes, what a lot of work..!) I believe the Tesla pack has modules of 99 cells in series, with 23 of these modules connected in parallel. So no single cells are explicitly paralleled, and if capaciti

Then: 6831 cells /99 cells = about 69 strings in parallel The 99 by 69 combination is the only number that will come out even or you would have to cut a battery into sections. The 375 volts is the normal pack voltage where the actual voltage will be a little higher than that.
