Re: [Electric Boats] Battery Bank Charging

 

I've had good luck with the Dual Pro charging the bank when just hanging out. I think the temperature compensation on the charger makes it run home to mama when you're drawing off the bank at the same time.


 Think I'm going to install a Quick Charge less the temperature compensation & bulk charge the bank in series when this type of situation arises.  Wouldn't need it very often but when you need to get somewhere on a schedule...

Your problem isn't using charging independently vs in series.  The Dual Pro 4 is a smart charger that can't figure out why it keeps charging your batteries, but they never get full.  It then stops charging because there must be something wrong.  So, usually charging independently is best, but a dumb charger (series or independent) is better for your use.

When I motor with the generator on seems like I do not get alot out of my Dual Pro 4 charger that chargers each battery independently in order to extend range. So I was thinking of adding a 25 amp Quick Charger because it charges the whole string in series. 

For those that have motoring down pat, do you charge in series with your generator & how's that worked out for you far as extending range without depleting the  battery bank?

Thanks,
