- Changing from using potentiometers to using resistor arrays with DIP switches to improve accuracy and remove the need for a user to have their own resistance meter to set the required Over and Under voltage cutoffs.

- Since there is no longer a potentiometer being used, it is no longer necessary to restrict the operating voltage ranges to 30 V and 60 V versions. Just one 4-60 V version will be made targeting 30 A continuous current.

- A lower voltage version going up to 30 V but doing higher amperage is very possible, just by using a higher current connector and using lower resistance FETs. Interested in hearing what projects could use this.

- The over-current circuit breaker will also use its own DIP switch for ease of use
