It is official. as some of you may know, my Electercel's life has ended
('passed on! ceased to be! 'expired and gone to meet 'is maker! bereft of
life! 'kicked the bucket, 'shuffled off 'is coils, run down the curtain and
joined the scrap pile in the sky.)
I have repurposed my batteries as a boondocking camper. I was able to use
the batteries, BMS and I thought my charger. However due to weight, and
what I thought was a smart move; I trimmed my batteries to 48 instead of the
66. So my system has gone from 212v nom to 154v non. Little did I realize
the error of my ways and the charger will not wake-up due to the lower
voltage, requires 170v. ELTEK 3kW HE, IP20 with CANBus. So now my quandary
is to change everything back, add the weight, rewire BMS OR do I just
replace the charger? I am leaning towards the second and a recommendation
was the Elcon UHF 1800W charger for a little less than $500.00.
Any other recommendation? I need 163volts minimal. Amperage is not large
factor because charging time is not a major concern. BMS controlled via
CANBus is a plus but can control off/on with a relay via the BMS. Does not
have to be mounted or water proof as it does not need to remain with the
camper. AND the cheaper the better.
Thanks in advance,
Buddy Mills
PS I may have a ELTEK 3KW HE IP20 for sale.
