Ok, Have been doing some reading inspired by the suggestions in this thread. Especially thanks to Turtlemeister for the very informative article about ripples effect on batteries. It is obvious that I need to smooth it out, alot. It works for now, but my batteries won't last long. Using a...

Good info regarding the peak voltage. Havent thought about that. I have reading up on batteries and how they handle peak voltage and rms. But info seems to be scarse. If the charge current don't exeed the batterys limit, does the voltage peaks matter ? The battery manufacturer only...

I might have been unclear. The 50 amps is on the 12 volt side so the power usage is 600 watts and up. The reason is don't use a full bridge rectifier is that it would give me over 115 volts dc out. Using the half wave rectifier cuts the voltage in half. I am looking for a method to keep...

Dear honored forum members. Thanks in advance for any information and help. The title of this post might not be technically correct, but it incompases the issues that I am working with. My goal is to charge a 48 volt batterypack from a 12 dc volt source. I need a rather high amperage...
