[RE-wrenches] Cooler Modules

[William Miller]

Colleagues:

 

Thanks for the scintillating and relevant discussion.  This brings up a
question on my radar:  Will unloaded modules fail sooner than loaded
modules?

 

Thanks again. Great Group!

 

William

Loaded modules will have hotter cells. I know this from searching for bad
cells with a thermal camera.  At open circuit I could not see a difference,
but short circuit or loaded I could see 20 - 30 C increase in mismatched
cells .
