I'm interested in building a small boat, and the electric motor I'm looking at can handle 48-72v nominal batteries. I could use 48v, but the higher voltage would offer some advantages.
Is it possible to use 3x 24v (or 6x 12v) batteries in series for a 72v setup? i have found 12v/100ah batteries that advertise up to a 48v serial connection. But I'm having trouble finding something that supports 72v.
My reasoning is that I'd like to be able to take the batteries off the boat, when not in use, and hook them up as 48v to a home solar/inverter system.
