Hi All,
My first attempt to buid a small off grid system is taking shape.
I have the following components
- victron multiplus 48:1200:13
- victron venus gx
- 2 X Samsung SDI battery pack 16S
The first issue i come across is that my battery pack is 16 S . The victron multiplus is rated for 48V nominal and has a Vmax input of 66 V.
My idea was to just not completely charge the 16S pack to stay within the acceptable voltage range of the victron multiplus. Would that work?
I wont be using the built in charging function as i want to use a seperate mppt charger connected to some solar panels and a wind turbine to charge the battery
I could use some advice on what would be a suitable charger in this situation. The requirements would be that it can be used to charge lithium ion batteries and has some sort of boosting function so that the input votage can be lower than the output voltage. The windturbine is still being developed and im not sure it will have much more than 24V coming out of it. So the mppt charger would need to boost this 24V to a voltage suitable to charge my battery pack.
I saw that victron has mppt charges but im not sure if they can handle Li-ion batteries and can boost voltage?
I hope my questions make sense.. im still new at this
regards,
sander
