The results are in and the final temperature was around 102 C after 5 minutes of continuous testing at 29.5 A!
One thing the previous calculations neglected was the heat generated from the 1m shunt resistor, which is now placed closer to the FETs than was before.
Next we are going to evaluate the efficiency, which should be around 95% typical, compared to about 98% for the Protect, owing to the higher series resistance of the FETs and shunt resistor.
