I currently use a IRLB3036PBF-ND mosfet to switch on a load fed from 2x Li-Po packs in Series.
I use the same setup to fire 2 x Li-Po packs in parallel.
My current setup is a
15k resistor from gate to source.
(-) batt. tied to source
(+) batt. tied to the laod
(+) batt tied to Off-MOM switch then to Gate
To the best I understand this is a N chan Mosfet meaning it switches the Neg of the power source?
OK here is the big question.
If a N chan switches negative could I use a combination N and P with a multi pole switch and add a 2 position switch that would allow me to change from Series Firing to Parallel Firing by just throwing a switch instead of having to reconfigure my battery?
I use the IRLB3036PBF-ND because it has never failed me and can handle the 200 watt load and fire @ 2.5volts.
I can picture this working in my head with 4 or 5 fets wired up correctly but I have no idea what to get as far as a fet the will switch the pos. A simple crude schematic and Digi-key part number would be killer.
TY in advance to anyone willing to help.
