Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Battery Banks

 

Amps or volts? I think you are referring to amps? Or current. 
The voltage from the panels needs to be higher than the battery to push a charge into the battery. 
 If you have that much current from your solar and it matches you motor I suspect your motor may be a little small for the load?  What are you trying to do.

What if you have a large solar panel bank the produces close to or in excess of your motor draw?  What type battery bank is recomend ed? 

Thanks

I think it depends somewhat on the size of your motor compared to the AH capacity of your batteries. If you use 3 switchable banks, the Peukert losses will be greater, but you'll have fewer problems with balancing. You'll also have a system with built-in reserve.

If you have a large motor and small capacity batteries, Peukert losses are significant, so the parallel configuration will give much better performance than three switchable pairs.
