How to control heating pads ?
in my RV I use a dedicated temp controller, so I have 4 temp sensors in my Battery ( 2x for BMS, 1x Solar Charger, 1x dedicated heater control ( Temp. Relais )).
I Use the Load output with Lighting settings to supply the heating controller on daytime when there could be a charging current. BMS has a working Low temp cutoff , so no risk charging at low temp, but with my Solution I have some problems:
- Temp Relais standby current
- if there is no Sun heating switches on and drains battery
- Heating did´t switch on at night / no charging via alternator ( Solution would be a diode coupler between Solar charge, dc/dc converter and Temp Controller module. )
Is there some Solare charger on the market with better programmable load switch ? Optimal would be Load on when Temp below Limit and Solar panel current detected.
I can use my existing Solar charger for other projects, so If someone knews a product ( victron ) with better options für heater control I´m willing to change.
Or ist there a BMS on the market witch heating control ?
best regards
