Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Charging batteries in series?

 

Joe, I like your system. It sounds like you have gotten most of the benefit with a lot less work. Hard to argue with 3x the lifespan. BTW, I've been using Optima spiral-wound cells for decades now. Use them in everything on the farm, too. 


I do have one question. The way your float charging circuit is wired, each battery seems to have it's own  3-stage float charger permanently attached across it. And you plug them all in at the same time. My question is....Are the batteries still connected in series when you activate this net of float chargers? If so, wouldn't the chargers - and batteries - interact with their neighbors in the series/parallel strings? Or do they?
 Thanks,  Roger L.     the electric tri-canoe
