I personally use their model...
Hi Tony,
Yes, the IGBT would soak up the unwanted voltage and dissipate it as heat, but that setup would give no regulation of 12 v at all.
IMHO, placing the second battery across the one above it in the drawing, with the diode, would share the series charging current intended for the two...
Not being an expert, I can offer 2c worth: Some of the older golf card speed controllers were nothing more than a series resistor to add resistance in series to slow the motor, and a big switch to turn it off. The newer ones use solid state devices to chop the voltage and send a lower...
