Hi I am new to the group and am outfitting a westerly nomad 22'(took out diesel) with an 24v- 1.2kwh forklift motor and 230 amp/hr 24v bank
I have a few questions if anybody can help.(attached drawing/specs)
I have bought all but the solar and the battery banks.
1- For ease of charging I would like to have one bank of 24 volt and some how use 2 of the four battery's for 12v house and 4 of them in series for 24 volt motor/drive.
I realize that the batteries will have to self equalize as I draw House power and I'll need some sort Diode's? or?
The other option is a 24 volt to 12 volt inverter or a seperate 12v house bank but that causes charging issues
I'm just not knowledgeable enough to know which is best for losses etc..
2- With a 250 watt solar panel what would be my boat speed(no wind or current) without drawing from my battery banks
Roughly 8 amps @ 24 volts ?
Any other calculation for my "yacht" would be awesome
ie length of run time consuming 30% of my battery bank@ 3 mph(no wind or current) would be awesome
Cheers Ian
