Have you heard of "Minnesota nice"? We don't toot our own horn. We rely on visitors from other states to do all the honking. :-) > Of all the battery equalizers out there yours is by far the best idea > I have seen.

It was really designed only as a research tool; something you build one of, to learn what needs to be done in battery management. > I'd like to make them and sell them and give you a cut for all your > work in designing it.

Let's get a > group order of a 100 or so. Yes, I have all the artwork, and the tooling is already paid for so we could order more boards. I'd be happy to collect orders for another set of boards. 10 sets would probably cost around $100 each (one control board and two relay boards). Since nothing is ever finished in the mind of an engineer, I'd probaby make a few corrections and improvements. If there were 100 interested parties, I'd make more significant changes. Many of the parts I used were chosen for the sake of expediency; parts I already had, or that were easy to get and use in quantity one (like the BASIC Stamp, multimeter as the A/D converter, etc. The more you plan to build, the more time you spend in the initial design to get the price per unit down. -- Lee A.
