Hey guys, I don't often ask questions, so I'll try to make this worth your time. I'm going to make a box mod...
I'd like to use a Vamo 10 board (from fasttech), but I'm not sure what fuses to use. I know its not NECESSARY to use them, but I'd like to.
I'd like to use two 3.7v 1200mah 25c (RC helicopter) batteries in parallel.
Unfortunately, I can not find the Max Input Current in any description, nor can I find a proper data sheet.
so, I found THIS GUIDE and it was very helpful- it says,
"max input current= converter's max output power at 80% efficiency divided by min input voltage."
In the case of the Vamo 10...
55watts @ 80% eff = 66watts
I ASSUME the Min Input Voltage = 3.2
so, 66w/3.2v= 20a
If I use fuses, do I REALLY need a 20amp fuse? and if so (I mean, if my math is not totally off) do you suggest one in particular?
or does anyone have data sheets for the Vamo series?
thanks everyone for your patience and understanding- sometimes I think I know what I'm talking about, but even more often I'm wrong.
