Re: [electricboats] Electric Motor for 40ft Sailboat

In this case wiring safety compliance is absolutely paramount. 96v DC is absolutely lethal.

Also BMS contactors must also be safety type to assure welded contacts are mitigated. MOSFETs are much safer as their dominant failure mode is open circuit

A single 96v charger works. The requirement to focus on is that it be isolated, that neither the positive or negative are connected to the case's safety ground. I use a Batrium BMS across the full 96v battery and it controls both positive and negative contactors (no mosfets). I also use active balancers. 96v devices aren't as common as 48v but isolated 96v are available.
