Hello Mark Most of the Rangers are on in use now. This balancer system would work way better than the Ranger BMS. What did you do to get yours going? Below is...
A little more information on the Balancer I have not installed one because there are none. There is no balancer on the market you can buy that will do what...
We understand the clamper concept & its benifits, but has anyone seen a block diagram that clearly shows the exact process & how the charging is accomplished?...
Lee's balancer can be set to charge any voltage battery. Charging is done with DC to DC converter. This is far better than clamper type. This moves power...
