Hello guys
New here. I am trying to work out what would be the best way to control a 2v load using something like an ESP32 (3.3v)
So what i have is:
-------------
| BATTERY | (1.5 - 2.2v) ---> something?? >>> Resistor
--------------- ^^
| ESP32 |
I would of used the standard relays but can only do 10A. I need something that can support upto 30A of current.
I am designing a battery balancer, therefore when required to discharge some current, the ESP32 would turn on the resistor which would start draining the battery.
I have the correct resistor with the correct wattage rating (50w) . I just need to know what i can use for this. Very confused.
The load would be between 1.5v to 2.2v and the control voltage of the ESP32 / Raspberry would be 3.3v
I was looking maybe at a mosfet to replace the resistor and have the capabilities to control it too but i am stuck and not sure.
I implemented this for a 12v battery and that was fine as the relays did a perfect job (inside the 10A thresholds)
Many thanks for reading and any input would really help and unblock me
Cheers!
