<b>Subject:</b> [RE-wrenches] Charging a 108V battery bank</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am going to be working with someone who plans to completely electrify a boat. The electric motor is meant to run on nine 12V batteries, or 108V. The motor manufacturer recommends a charger that can run on 120V or 240V. But has anyone seen a charger that
can take solar power and directly charge a battery bank of 108V? The alternative that I see here is to have two separate battery banks, one for the motor, and one for house loads. Then we would have the solar charge a 48V battery bank, and then use an inverter
to charge the 108V battery bank. It seems inefficient, although that may be the only choice.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A separate but related question: what is special about a marine inverter? If there is a 5kw charger for the battery bank, we will need a large inverter to handle this plus other AC loads, and I am not sure if there are "marine" inverters this large. And
so other than concerns about getting wet, is there harm to putting a Radian, or a Sol-Ark on a boat?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Dave</div>
