This info must be here somewhere, please point me to the old thread...
I am using a Leaf battery pack ~400V, and need to buy a DC-DC converter for the 400v-13.9v. I will be using a 12v lead acid battery as it is needed to turn on the contactors.
I have put together a list of the cars current 12v systems including those that have been removed and estimated the total sum of the fuses. The original alternator was 90amp.
What is a good method for estimating what I need for a DC-DC converter? i.e. system should maintain headlights, fan at medium, turn signal, vacuum pump, running lights, radio... at some percentage of the listed fuse?
Is there a good list of current converters available on the market that would be applicable?
