Scotty AI, developed by Safiery, is an advanced bi-directional DC-DC converter designed to optimize power management in vehicles and marine applications. It facilitates efficient charging and discharging between different voltage systems, such as 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V, enhancing energy utilization and system flexibility. An international patent applies to the AI process. Key Features: - Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration: Scotty AI employs AI algorithms to automatically tune to the specific power curve of the connected alternator. This auto-tuning process occurs during an initial two-minute setup, allowing Scotty AI to adapt to various alternator types without manual configuration. - Three Operating set points When the auto-tuning process is initiated, Scotty AI uses AI to select 3 different voltage setpoints and auto-tunes at each one. These 3 setpoints are called “Soft” “Medium” and “Hard” modes of operation. “Soft” is the highest voltage with less load on the alternator, “Hard” is the lowest voltage setpoint. This is visible when observing the app and running the auto-tuning process. These modes are particularly useful when running at idle as solar back-up charging the high voltage lithium battery. The differences between these settings is unique to the vehicle engine but generally around 15% between the modes at idle. - Alternator Protection: Equipped with an accurate temperature sensor attached to the alternator housing, Scotty AI monitors temperature changes in real-time. The AI system analyzes the rate of temperature change alongside current and voltage parameters to detect out-of-range conditions. If such conditions are identified, Scotty AI adjusts its operating mode by shifting automatically from “Hard” to “Medium” to “Soft” thus preventing alternator overheating. The result is extending the alternator's lifespan. - Bi-Directional Power Flow: Scotty AI supports bi-directional power transfer, enabling it to charge a higher voltage battery (e.g., 48V) from a lower voltage source (e.g., 12V alternator) and supply power back to lower voltage loads when needed. This functionality is particularly beneficial for applications requiring multiple voltage levels, such as powering 12V accessories from a 48V battery bank. - User-Friendly Interface: The system is compatible with a smartphone app and an optional touch display, allowing users to monitor performance, adjust settings, and perform over-the-air firmware updates. This ensures the system remains up-to-date with the latest features and improvements. By integrating AI-driven auto-tuning, real-time alternator protection, and versatile bi-directional power capabilities, Scotty AI enhances energy efficiency and reliability in various off-grid and mobile power scenarios.

Key Features:
– Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration:
Scotty AI employs AI algorithms to automatically tune to the specific power curve of the connected alternator. This auto-tuning process occurs during an initial two-minute setup, allowing Scotty AI to adapt to various alternator types without manual configuration.
– Three Operating set points
When the auto-tuning process is initiated, Scotty AI uses AI to select 3 different voltage setpoints and auto-tunes at each one. These 3 setpoints are called “Soft” “Medium” and “Hard” modes of operation. “Soft” is the highest voltage with less load on the alternator, “Hard” is the lowest voltage setpoint.

Pros and Cons of connecting Scotty AI to CAN BMS battery?
In Summary, there is no advantage of CAN connection from a single Scotty AI with CAN BMS. However, if two are installed in parallel then they have to have a CAN connection to each other. Connecting to Battery CAN is optional.
Privilege 51.5 owners wanted Silent Nights on the water. They also wanted to run “Zero Genset” and installed 3.2kW solar. The 12V DC loads are around 600W+ without winches/windless. A 48V 20kWh Lithium bank was installed as an energy overlay.
As a backup to solar two Scotty AI’s provide both a high replenishment capability and redundancy. When Scotty’s are off, the 12V alternators will continue to charge the existing 12V house battery.
With significant 12V loads, the available power to Scotty AI varies widely. Scotty AI’s patent pending auto-tuning maximizes the charging power prioritizing the 12V loads.
Should one alternator fail for some reason, the Scotty AI associated ceases operation automatically and the floating master role switches if required
The Smart Touch Display allows the skipper to set the alternator engine load to Soft, Medium or Hard depending whether motor sailing or solar back up power without running the Genset.
For new-built catamarans in the 36-46ft size, the factory fitted 12V lithium house battery bank stays as installed and Scotty AI and a large capacity additional house bank at either 24V or 48V is an overlay energy system.
When running the engines, Scotty AI is auto-tuned with the “lithium house” enabled. The patent-pending auto-tuning is done on either engine independently. Scotty AI is then ready to run.
With either or both engines running, Scotty Ai waits till the house battery is significantly charged at 90%+ before cutting in and extracting power up to 3000W per engine. (the factory fitted engines on popular brands have 120A capacity at 14.4V and the 1500W Scotty AI model is a perfect fit)
When the engines are off, Scotty AI delivers DC power back to the factory fitted 12V house bank to keep it always in the circa 90% band.
Fishing boats with GPS-guided propulsion/autopilot packages and/or virtual anchor systems using high torque 36V motors have two options that significantly simplify a single house battery bank design:
For outboard engines, the features above allow the engine to idle with little or no net output, then ramp up the power to a full 3000W at cruising RPM (provided the outboards have alternator capacity). This unique and innovative product allows fishing boats to run gyro’s and other high demanding loads with a battery bank being charged at the same time the gyro is running.
Scotty AI provides both a high replenishment capability with redundancy with 24V alternators at 150A each. Up to two of these per engine have been fitted giving 16kw capacity. Two Scotty AI’s per engine can charge at 12kW.
An 48V Lithium bank is installed as an energy overlay. The existing 24V AGM house bank is preserved.
Scotty AI is auto-tuned per alternator. When all Scotty AI units are activated a patent pending ‘floating master” is established between.
Should one alternator fail for some reason, the Scotty AI associated ceases operation automatically and the floating master role switches if required
If the Scotty AI’s are charging the 48V auxiliary battery and this operation is stopped, the vessel can continue to run on the 24V AGM house bank.
Installed systems include a 100kWh 48V house bank being replenished from 12kW Scotty AI array which is sufficient to run the saloon and helm aircon loads and electronics power while motoring NO Genset. “Silent Nights”
