Hi Everyone,
Doing a search for this provides mixed results. I'm after a cheap low cost 50amp (or more) AC-DC charger for a 48v 16S1P LifePo4 batteries.
In the UK, we have 4 hours of cheap rate electricity at night (literally 3-4 times cheaper during this time).
At the moment I can't find an AC-DC charger that is less than 300-400 dollars or even higher ... I've turned to AliExpress and found a couple of chargers for 100-200 but have such long delivery times. It'll be summer before they arrive and I'll have solar amps power then... right now in the UK, I have almost zero sunshine hitting my panels in garden!
The perfect solution would be a 48v variable amp charger 10-60amps, I'd be able to make it come on for 4 hours at night and top the battery up to 70-80 percent.
I currently have a 24v 8s1P system and it wasn't enough for my daily electricity usage (about 10-12kwh) and I'm adding another 8 and creating a 48v 16s (all on a JK-BMS). 50amps would only be about 0.25C charge so well within tolerance of charging profiles.
50amps is about 2400 watts at 48v which is not that much.
Currently I only have an inverter that provides 15amps of charge which obviously isn't enough to recharge in the 4 hours by some margin!
Once the summer comes, it can trickle charge through the whole day (if we ever have sun here).
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
