An Industry-oriented Design of an Onboard Hybrid Fast Battery Charger for a Small-Size Pure Electric Boat
This research aims at an industry-oriented design of an onboard hybrid fast battery charger for a small-size pure electric boat to meet the needs of an increasing number of electric boats, e.g. a 3-meter electric tenders with 2HP Thrust Electric Outboard driven by a 48V/30Ah Lithium battery. Electric battery-powered tenders have been built for design incorporating a hybrid fast battery charger with onboard solar power and an onboard Alternator/Generator in an outboard YAMAHA 50hp 4 stroke, in a Mac 420 Fisherman boat (Length overall 4.4 meters, Beam 2.0 meters). The design is experimented with in the prototype, i.e. a 100w solar panel and a 48Vdc 30Ah Lithium battery.
