for those with 48volt systems

[mobile_bob]

seems to be interest again with charging 48volt banks

i have a question i would like to pose to those so interested

"how many amps would you like to have available to charge with?"

it would appear that 40-45amps is about what most folks have capability of,

would a unit that can do 75-85amps be of interest?

the reason i am asking, i have something like 50 or 60 leece neville alternators that i can setup for 48volt charging
(capable of anything up to 62volts or more if needed, although all testing will be done at 57.6volts dc)

its going to be a while before i can get to building these up, i am about half way through the unpacking, sorting, building and loading
all my crap on shelves in the new shop.  it is a long process that i want done right so i don't have to do it again later.

I have interest in the units.  I could possibly use more than one. 

[mbryner]

if you build it, they will come.....

Yes, I'd be interested.   But they wouldn't have a charge controller, right?  My 6/1 wouldn't do more than 40 amps right now w/ thermosiphon, but it would be nice to have greater capability.

I'd be interested in as many amps as could be gotten out of a flogged, wound out, 6/1 roid.

Depending on price, I need something to charge a 825ah NiFe bank I'm installing next week.  Planning on solar (in the winter - ha) or the 6/1 driving the 240v ST head, into the XW6048 .98 PF charger.  But another source is not a bad thing to have.

I think I could probably use one funds permitting....

[Shipo]

I'd be interested in a 24v (28)....in case you have one for sale...

[ihavelotsoftoys]

I would be interested in one also.  I won't be running a lister but I do have an arrowboard engine with deep sump.  Got lots of biodiesel to feed it.

Sounds easier than transforming down and rectifying my st-5 output? Interest depends on price as usual :-)

Bob,

Please give us a price and a time frame. If you can provide in 24 (27) volts, I too would be interested.

I would be interested as well. Out of curiosity which Leece Neville alternator is this based on?

[electronlabs]

Do you still have these units available?  I may need a few if the price is right.

Hey Bob,

I'd love one, or even just a stator rewound. I can deal with diodes, controller etc. I just emailed ya this AM from the Fieldlines forum becuase I had lost my login here.

for all of you interested in running a 48 volt alternator at 48 volt native, Balmar now makes an MC6-48 regulator, and it even has Li-ion charge capabilities. It's the same regulator as the MC6-24, with some software tweeks, it's a true 48v remote sense. 3 stage regulator.

who is selling the balmar mc48?
