Title: B17 charger and battery specs?
Post by: Nautilus on July 24, 2022, 12:45:08 PM
Just wondering if there are any specifications finalised for the B17 batteries and whether the inverter modules are also chargers or if there is a seperate charger module planned?

Yes, the modules are both inverter/charger.   

Almost ready to be able to say what the specified charging current is but we're not 100% sure yet.

If it is anything like the Rosie, it will be a lot though !  Rosie is doing 100+ amps at the moment. 

The "+" is the TBD part so I better not say too much just yet.

Thanks for asking !

Nothing in that video regarding battery specs or charge amperage, am I watching the wrong video?

Probably not the wrong video.  We just haven't said what it is yet.  It will really depend on what ETL says it can be.

It will depend on component temperatures during their test.
