Re: [Electric Boats] multiple charging sources

 

Thanks Mike. That's sort of what I thought.

There is no problem in doing this but, the solar panels do go through a solar controller before they connect to the battery, the wind generator also has electronics that monitor the battery pack voltage and shut it down when the pack is fully charged (or another source like the solar panels is able to provide enough voltage to the batteries to keep it topped off).  Likewise for the charger.  They all are set up for the AGM batteries on board and have worked very well for the past three years.

They will all be supplying slightly different voltages (albeit above the battery voltage for a charge) but does it all average out on the battery end of things or am I missing a detail here? If there is a previous post/string on the subject, I'd appreciate the reference, thanks.
