I have put a number of hours into researching IGBTs and my answer is.... I have NO idea. It is complicated, to say the least. Was that one, by chance, the 60 dollar "buy it now" lot of used IGBT's with the 25 dollar shipping? I'm really not sure what to choose.

I was thinking though... you might want to get a "2-pack" IGBT so you can do synch rec. That is... if the IGBT has a lower Vdrop than a diode would... not sure.

I was going to start a thread on DIYElectricCar asking if the experts had a sure-fire list of IGBT's or maybe as a place to say "is this one good?" so the experts can comment.
