feasability of power inverter for regen purpose on electric scooter
I have a new problem re: how to create an add-on regenerative braking circuit to an electric scooter that only has a one-quadrant power controller;
I was thinking that a few automotive relays-N.O/N.C. types- with some type
of D.C. chopper/oscillator circuit to step up the voltage from the electric motor the battery pack would work,preferably being switched from the brake switch.
I was also thinking of using a power inverter of around 150 watt continuous power that would work as the chopper section of this home built regenerative circuit.
I would like to know if anyone has attempted this using a power inverter
and/or how someone might step-down the voltage out of the power inverter to charge the scooter's battery pack???![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
