I am building a lifepo4 battery bank (16S 304Ah) and want to include a relay to be able to disconnect the battery even when the bms fails to. Now I have the choice between a 300A normal relay or what I would rather use due to the power needed to keep the relay closed is a bistable relay. The normal one uses nearly 12W, the bistable uses 0 when not being activly switched.
The relay is capable of switching under short circuit conditions, would you see a problem using a bistable relay with a sutiable contol (that has a buffer supply to switch in an emergency)?
