I know that is it taken out of context, I plan on load testing the batteries and checking temperature before using them that low. Plus I never plan on going below .1 when vaping
RDS (each) = 0.0022 ohms (Extrapolation from data sheet for 3.6V)
RDS (2 in Parallel) = 0.0011 ohms
RDS (4 in Parallel) = 0.000425 ohms
I = 123 A
I^2 = 15129 A
P = I^2 * RDS
P(2 in Parallel) = 15129*0.0011 = 16.64W (8.32 Watts Per Mosfet)
P(4 in Parallel) = 15129*0.00055 = 8.32 (2.08 Watts...
The Mosfet's "on" resistance (Rds) will increase as it's temperature rises so parallel Mosfets will "self balance". If you have four FETs in parallel, the one that conducts the most current will also be the one that runs the hottest; therefore it's Rds(on) resistance will rise and the other...
Check me on this WSK01
RDS (each) = 0.0017 ohms
RDS (2 in Parallel) = 0.00085 ohms
RDS (4 in Parallel) = 0.000425 ohms
I = 123 A
I^2 = 15129 A
P = I^2 * RDS
P(2 in Parallel) = 15129*0.00085 = 12.85W (6.43 Watts Per Mosfet)
P(4 in Parallel) = 15129*0.000425 = 6.43W (1.61 Watts Per Mosfet)
Also I am thinking about two more mosfets in this build in parallel with the others, WKS01 you have been helpful, I do value your knowledge that you have brought to this discussion.
What are you basing your opinion on about wiring standards??? 14 AWG is safe for that amount of current, I just chose 12 because there is less loss in it. Have you personally load tested these batteries? And seriously, do you possibly think that I am going to vape at 450?
I have fluke multimeters that can measure that low
If a Mosfet fails at .03 ohms then you would have magic smoke rolling out of your mod and possible loud pop.
If a Mosfet is slower than the other one, then you are gonna get a one mosfet that will get warmer than another, but we are talking in...
Two VTC5s can handle the 123A (80 amp for 8 sec per battery). 12AWG wire can handle that amount of current @ 4 ~6" (with 3.5% voltage drop) if it were feet it would be different. I am aware of the thermal limits of MOSFETS.
