I guess I'm an exception.
I don't throw out wire or material that can be used or recycled and I only charge for the product that gets on the boat.
I have 50 small lengths of wire leftover from installs and we always look for a piece we can use. It's new and if I can get a few extra cables...
24 or 32 volt.
I have small 12 and 24 volt chargers that would be easy to set up and control via Bluetooth
For example a 3 bank 24 volt smart charger with Bluetooth 16 amps total. About $200.
No they are not.
The wheels are sized accordingly for the install. You can't adjust them.
Too much cable will cause a backup and jam. There's a few things that need to be considered when getting replacement cables.
Re: A cautionary tale about batteries, acid, and old chargers…
Batteries will cook. Distort and Crack the case causing leaks. Even AGM batteries can melt. I see this all the time.
Everything is included when I sell the systems. Somebody may have made up their own packages.
The Sea fresh comes with the control and a switch. And wiring diagram
Like new. Probably never used. The previous owner had lots of spares.
Located at Port canaveral. Make a reasonable offer.
More pictures and measurements available upon request.
For the less informed.
800 AH USABLE at 48 volts.
Agm = 120 AH usable at 12 volts in an 8D at 170 pounds.
24 batteries so we can round to about the 800 usable. (Slightly less FYI)
That's 4000 lbs of batteries.
Charge efficiency is low. About 80%. Heat and gasses (hydrogen) released.
Must...
Took alot of chemistry and understand it well. Im so glad that you corrected us all for the chemistry department at HOFU.
Look at earlier posts where I discussed the differences between the different chemistries and the properties.
Good thing I didn't mislead anyone on battery safety or dangers.
3 out of 4 autopilot issues are install problems.
The line path and position could be the issue. The bleeding of the pump too. Get the installer to fix it.
Calders is a book. One of many out there showing some good basics and a lot of opinion on how the author thinks it should be. Don't depend on any one source for reading information. I'm sure Nigel and I disagree on many things but the basics are the basics. If you don't understand the physics...
I think you were misled by the electrician. I'd never recommend a 12 v system in that scenario. I'd also put 2 inverters so you can service both legs easily.
Did he at least set it up as a pass through of the inverter?
Rf grounds for your vhf and ssb are through the dynaplates. Other devices may work. Better with them too.Don't ditch them. Replace if necessary. I've not seen them degrade to that point before but YMMV.
70 plus amps running off a 32kw bank was easy. Done it recently on a members hatt.
Just did a pair of 5k inverters on a sailboat to run the AC for the master.
