Re: [Electric Boats] Electric Motor Components

 

You can get Elcon chargers that they will program for the chemistry and number of cells. Look at http://evolveelectrics.com/Elcon Chargers.html. I have no commercial interest in this but I am a happy customer of one of their chargers. I have it programed for a bank of 18 LiFePO4 cells.

I might be wrong.. but if a charger has an output of 36v its likely within a safe voltage limit for a 30v battery arrangement. 12v chargers usually pushing 14v or so.

Steve - how do you charge a thirty volt battery bank? Is there a thirty volt charger on the market? Thanks. Steve S.
