Just wanted to post here, been a while, but I'm back: I finally got around to fixing the two ZVS drivers and after 5 hours of learning how to solder, I can finally say that it is a success! It looks like a complete wire hot-mess, but I've got everything safe and running well. Shoutout to all...

Thanks for that, I spent a couple days on this thread and only made it to page 12 lol, sooooo much info here. I appreciate you for digging this out. I have done quite a bit of research and referenced your photo collection as much as I can, and have sketched a few detailed schematics. Are these...

Received my soldering station today, started de-soldering components and it was going well until I attempted to remove the transistors. . . . How the heck are you supposed to remove the transistors???? :huh: Theyre like glued in on the board!!:bang:

Fantastic, I feel better already hahaha:love::clap: My Hakko soldering station gets in on Wednesday, Ill then tear apart both drivers and use the two good mosfets (1 from each) on one board and Ill check to order some more. Off the top of your head do you happen to know what mosfets they are, or...

Bought a cheap 3S balanced charger, and confirmed that the FETs are shorted. Received another ZVS just this afternoon but I blew that one too (Maybe it was because the terminals where the coil was inserted werent screwed down?). I dunno, I didnt mess up the wiring, it was hooked up to an auto...

@Pipes I think I understand that. The battery is directly connected to the BMS module, which gets fed to the FET board while also having a kill "switch?" and the charging port connected to the + and -, and the switch gets attached to the one Trig/PWM contact on the FET, and then the output gets...

@Pipes Did what you said with a 12v agm battery and it smoked. I recall when I had just received the zvs module seeing the blue led blink and not stay solid as soon as I put a load into the coil, so the power supply may not be adequate like you said. I'll probs order a Lipo battery and charger...

I purchased and received this power supply. When you say that a MOSFET module should be employed instead of a switch due to potential "early failure"---if I may call it that---is that referring to something like the FET switch that Pipes has linked to on his parts lists throughout this thread...

Building my own IH and Ive got some questions. First: Ive heard that there needs to be a high-rise voltage from the power supply in order for the voltage to oscillate enough to jump-start the Induction module. Is this true and how the heck do we do that? Second and more importantly: I have a...
