48v TURBINE
« on: December 08, 2004, 04:14:05 AM »
Can anyone tell me if this will work. I have a 48v turbine and I want to charge 4 12v 100ah battery. The lakota turbine only starts charging if it feels a 48v resistance. I want to connect a turbine diversion charger to this battery bank. When the bank is full I will send the current to a TS60 in charge mode which will take the full load and charge my larger 12v battery bank. I will then connect another diverter to this larger bank to send the excess to a set of baseboard heaters/hot water heater elements.

I guess you have their charge controler ? and are you connecting the battries in Series

for 48v or Parallel for 12v ?


I have the same gen 48v version and the 3 phases out are just a/c and in the box is diodes if you replace their charge controller (if you want to charge your battries in parallel ) with a 12v charge controler it should work because that is what determines when it should start charging the battries , not the gen it self


mine just came with the box and diodes , which is fine for me because I make my own charge controllers

I want to make my first battery bank 48v and the second 12v. Can you walk me through what I need to do to make this work. I was told the turbine will only start to produce power when it feels a 48v resistance. That is why I decided to use a small 48v battery bank and divert excess to my larger bank 12v. My system is 12v.
