<DIV>Brian,</DIV><DIV>That was my plan at one time also, I was going to use alternators with internal regulators. It should work, but I am not sure how long the alternators will last if they are not sized correctly.</DIV><DIV>Hank</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV>

<DIV><DIV><DIV style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><DIV>Hi All,</DIV><DIV> Does anyone know what's involved in linking a 48 volt dc generator to ones 48 Volt drive system? Is it as simple as connecting to the batteries? If the generator senses a voltage draw then it engages, this is how most generators are set up . Seems like there's got to be some sort of protection for the batteries so they don't see too much voltage. I was thinking of having a 48 V dc generator in an inflatable secured to my deck and feeding my motors for surface transit. Then once at the dive site leave the inflatable floating at the dive site. </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV></DIV>
