If a DC-DC is present and relatively weak shore power charging is applied to the starter battery there are circumstances where the DC-DC can cycle on-off constantly. | If a DC-DC is present and relatively weak shore power charging is applied to the starter battery there are circumstances where the DC-DC can cycle on-off constantly. | ||

+ | ===== waking lithium batteries ===== | ||
+ | Lithium banks can go dormant at low voltages in order to protect themselves: | ||
+ | - the BMS turns off the DISCHARGE channel to keep cell voltage from going any lower | ||
+ | - so the battery internally has ~11.0v or whatever but does not pass that voltage to the terminals on the outside of the battery case | ||
+ | - which means smart chargers don't see battery voltage | ||
+ | - and think there' | ||
+ | What we need is a //dumb// voltage source to get the party restarted. | ||
+ | * Rigs with IGN-triggered relays can briefly turn the key to ACC then back off.((don' | ||
+ | * Rigs with voltage-sensing relays will have to actually start the engine or press a manual override switch to activate the VSR and wake the lithium bank. | ||
+ | * Rigs with diode- or FET-based isolators would start the engine to spin the alternator and get power flowing through the isolator to the sleeping lithium | ||
