Ok, so I am in the process of designing my charger, so I have made a list of what I want it to do:
1) 120/240v charging, with automatic current adjustments for those voltages
2) Charge my 96 volt pack
3) Be able to fit in the EV
4) 3 Stage programmable, with shutdown at the end. (my K&W just floats forever)
That's the basic stuff, now I get insane:
5) Monitor each battery in the string
6) Estimate SoC and remaining time to charge batteries
6) LCD status of batteries/charger
7) WiFi Connectivity
Yes, I am looking to install WiFi, ZeroG WIFI/O from Microchip. Being an EV nut, I am always going outside to check my battery voltages, see how the charging is coming along, etc so I figure how sweet would it be if I could have that data streamed to me over the network. I have WiFi at home, and at school where I park (Its a computer engineering facilty, it BETTER have WiFi
) so having that data streamed to my laptop would be sweet. Of course it's a dream, but the more I look up this good Microchip has, it could happen.
