Ø These are impressive results. I want to hear from others running electric boats off of generators.
o Congratulations. 27A @ 49V is very impressive from a portable generator and charger.
That’s 1323watts---not bad.
My setup:
· Generator: Honda EU2000i
· Charger arrangement:
o Lestronic 36v, 20a
o Vicor Megapac power supply configured with 5 48v/4a modules
· Batteries: 36v single string, T105
Operation:
· Attach charger outputs to battery bank
· Turn motor on, head out of marina
· After away from quiet zone, start generator, let warm up and then put in Eco mode
· Plug the Lester charger AC plug into generator (good for 20amps into the 36v bank)
· If need more than 20amps, plug the Vicor’s AC plug into the generator also (good for 20amps more)
Performance:
· 36v/40amps --- i.e. 1440w into the batteries
· Has run like this for up to 17-hours continuous
· Adding an additional 4amp module to the Vicor causes the generator to quit and overload light comes on
