Re: [Electric Boats] Battery Bank Charging

 

I don't see that as an option but thanks for the suggestion!

I've seen 48V, 20A (1000W) DC power supplies for around $80.  Is there any reason NOT to run one of those off the generator, connected to the battery bank, to extend range?

The only concern I can think of is that if the battery bank is low, and you suddenly connect it to a 48V supply, bad things could happen.  If there's a fuse between the power supply and the battery, hopefully the fuse would blow before anything toooo bad??

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,
