"Here - Hold my Beer"
SO apparently the OSHA guy that came for a visit did not read the sign that said "DON'T LOOK IN HERE-IT WILL KILL YOU" and looked in our battery shack anyway ...
Apparently he did not like our chargers that we put together that would charge the battery from a generator in about 10 minutes if the battery was running low .. apparently words like fire and life hazard and dangerous and something about this being nothing more than a portable welder were mentioned in the report ...
anyway .... apparently when you are working around a few hundred thousand gallons of fuel they frown on this ... (pussies)
SOOOOO I need to find a way of charging 24V 580AH LiFePO4 batteries as fast as possible from a 30A or 50A portable generator... something apparently I can buy and not make ... something that is "safe" according to them ....
all joking aside but the generators that we have to charge our batteries are huge - way to big - but they won't give us anything else ... and for every minute they run my life gets a little harder out here ... so looking for something that I can rapidly charge -- even at 1C to maximize the generator time but have it run less time ...
