Short:
What is the smallest solar setup I can build to charge 48 volt Lithium batteries?
Longer:
I have a cool side by side that is electric.
I upgraded the batteries in it to 48 volt Lithium, each battery is 48 volts, as opposed to the 8 6 volt golf cart setup it came with.
Super happy.
Now I am thinking it would be fun to put some kind of solar charger on it. I understand that the setup would NEVER replace the energy the cart uses, nor do I expect it to charge the cart on a regular basis.
I just think it would be fun, and when out an about, if I pick up some juice, instead of just sitting there, bonus.
This being a side by side, I have limited space, and I don't want to lose the dump bed.
So what is the smallest setup I can build and still get some juice into the batteries? I am thinking 4 100 watt panels to get the voltage, but are there tiny inverters or solar chargers that can push the juice in to the 48 volt batteries?
