Do you have LPG only and 12V Battery?
You are enjoying silence on the ocean and in the bay at night…
But would you like:
- Hot Showers at any time?
- Induction cooking that is so fast and efficient?
- An Airfryer that cooks fast and efficient?
- Espresso Coffe at breakfast?
- Simple crispy toast?
This can all be done very easily on even the smallest engine from 30hp up?
But you DON’t want to add very much weight!
The Secret to lowest weight and highest available energy is to have high replenishment rate.
Here is how its done to produce from 6kW to 10kW of Power from a Belt Motor Generator
The BMG is high efficiency permanent magnet generator that charges at 48V up to 10kW but generally runs at 7-8kW because of heat limits on the rear inverter.
It charges a 48V Lithium Battery Bank conrolled by Scotty AI. Scotty Ai will chare ANY lithium battery bank but also reads CAN enabled BMS if it is Victron Compliant.
Victron’s own batteries are not open CAN compliant but Scotty charges using bulk and float voltage control and has a STOP CHARGE input from the Victron BMS.
The Scotty Ai App lets the user set the RPM range from a low to a high and a matching power range that syncs with the RPM range. This is exceptionally important as small engines must not be overloaded at low RPM.
The Scotty AI App shows the user the power, the temperature and an alerts from the BMG. It is slick!
Scotty Ai does 2 independent functions as a DC DC:
Firstly it charges the starter battery with user defined settings as there is no 12v alternator present.
Secondly, once charged, it also charges the house battery and then sets it to float voltage as a “camping Set Point” typically 12.6 or 12.8V.
It will go back to bulk charge again after a user set time to keep the starter battery and house battery in great shape.
48V is the best choice for inverter power because:
- Lowest Equipment Cost
- Lightest weight cabling
- Highest discharge rate in Power from good Lithium Batteries
- Highest charge rate in Power to good Lithium Batteries
- DC DC is high efficiency and power in 48V to 12V
For Victron Users:
- BMG appears as “Alternator” on Victron Display Venus OS 3.63 and higher
- DC DC operation appears as DC Loads
