Myles,
Now that testing and practical use of the AlphaGen DCX3000 has been accomplished I can say that I can't seem to get two of them to spool up past 50 amps. A single unit will put out 50 amps but adding another running AlphaGen DCX3000 to the mix only lowers the current on both of the units.
They do function quite well and certainly extend the range but I still can incur an amp hour loss over time and I'm not happy about that as at times I may require 40+ amps on the negative side to run with conditions over and above what the generators and solar are bringing in.
Conservatively that limits my run time and gives me "X" number of hours at 40 amp deficit.
I'm currently sourcing out another Honda 2000 and a couple more 48v chargers.
I recently procured a Honda 2000 and am able to run a couple of my 48v Lestronic II 17910 chargers on it and produce 30 amps.
I figure if I had another identical setup to that I would save weight on the boat and always have 60 amps at my disposal. Combined with solar and I can then be inputting close to 90 amps back into the back. Therefore I could be fully charged in 4.5 hours.
Also I can motor most anywhere for 60 amps turning prop for 30amps a side on each of my outboards. I can pack over 20 gallons of gas on board so at that rate I can motor for a really really long time without incurring a major amp hour draw if needed.
