Re: [Electric Boats] FYI - Methanol fuel cell battery charging

 

We've seen these EFOY units and talked with the company - we even had one to try out for a while. They are mainly for 12volt, although they offer a 24volt last I checked. For electric propulsion they can't offer much in the way of charging because they just aren't big enough to handle the larger amperage loads demanded. We are headed to IBEX in a couple of weeks and I'll be interested to see if there is anything new with this. I'll report back if I find anything new and exciting.

Just an FYI - recently came across this Pacific Yachting article (Dec 2012) on some in-boat trials of a methanol fuel cell for battery charging produced by SFC (German company near Munich).

Looks expensive, but might be the just the right thing for some people.
