Myles,
That's good news to me. My proposed chargers are (2) 48v - 15A units, 30A into 48v, the same 1440w total. I hope that the Dual Pro chargers are as efficient as your chargers are.
The second battery bank and charger will be added after the boat is converted and operating again, so I'll get a chance to check out how the charger performs ahead of time, while I still have only one bank.
