Re: Solar Battery Plant Question

The application is on our off season project that we are working on again for the next 4 months.

Pictures were posted here last fall.

During the next 2 or 3 weeks we need to update our power scheme with 6 (not seven) batteries, plus a solar charge plant.

We have to get some more power measurements done but rough numbers we may be charging maybe half of our full load power draw. Working from memory we may have a maximum plant draw of 50 amps at 12 volts. We will charge on the run. We may be able to upgrade the power plant to charge at the machine full power draw rate. We will see.

We are not opposed to or'ing diodes if that gives us the safest and most reliable operation. We just want to get it right.

We'd prefer to use 6 robot batteries instead of a single large deep cycle for several reasons but that may not be totally practical.
