I went with the 15v route myself. I think all the way down was 13.x volts if I recall. Maybe 13.8? Anywho, I set it and forget it at 14v and it's been solid for many miles now. |
The schematic over on IC doesn't seem too terribly complicated, and definitely much simpler than the stock DC-DC.
Did you completely remove the meanwell fan? Does your current fan setup blow air in or pull air out?
Hoping I get a response over on the IC thread relatively soon. Unless maybe you would be willing to bypass the rectifier for me if I shipped the meanwell over to you?
I wonder about mounting it to an external heat sink. I'm still a little worried about cooling for it.
I plan on wiring it to an external kill switch rather than to 12V ignition on, so I can manually turn it off every now and then on hot days under light load. Plus it'll simplify the wiring a little.
