[PSUBS-MAILIST] 48VDC generator

 Brian,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.Hank

 Hi All,                     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.   Brian  _______________________________________________
