Re: [electricboats] Throttle control head

You're welcome. 

On second thought, maybe bidirectional doesnt make sense. I was thinking (not thinking) you would still have alternators to charge the 12v, duh. Is it possible to reconfigure your 12 v batteries into 48? 

All your charging sources should just do their own thing without issue if they are programmed correctly, isn't hard to do. As long as you have a large enough pack which I'm guessing you will, it will be able to take all current you can throw at it. What size 48v pack are you looking at?

Hey Matt, thanks for all that.  As always on this group, it's nice to hear the opinions of folks who know what they're doing.  Nice website by the way!  We do have a rather large LifeP04 house bank that's only a year old - 900 amp hours.  I had intended to use a Victron MPPT or a DC to DC converter to charge that from the 48v bank and direct all charging sources to the 48v bank. I hadn't thought of a bi-directional DC converter - I'll have to look into that.  My next question is, with multiple charge sources - 2 (maybe 3) solar banks with separate MPPT's as well as the generator, what's the best way to control multiple sources charging the batteries at the same time?
