  • 1000 W output power limit across the 4 channels, with max current 4 x 15 A.

PSU:

  • Corsair CMPSU-600CX V2 (I believe this is the one we’re using?)

...

  • At +12V, maximum load is 40 A, so this can supply 480 W of power.

    • If we want to charge as fast as possible we will need a convertor rated for 480 W

  • Assuming our boost groundside convertor supplies steps up 12V to 24V, with a power limit of 480 W:

  • If we charge 4 batteries at once, the current will max out at 5 A per channel (each channel is 120 W / 24V)

  • Alternatively we could charge 2 batteries at once with 10 A each.

    We’re using the PSU that is connected to our usual battery charger.

    • What is the output current/power rating?

    • Whichever convertor we choose should be able to handle the same amount of power that the PSU outputs

COTS options:

  • AliExpress seems to have the most amount of options and is well priced (but might be a bit sketchy?I initially added higher power options here, but based on the maximum PSU load we may not need more than a 480 W convertor

  • Couldn’t really find anything good on Amazon or Facebook Marketplace
