Re: Powering an electric dive compressor

Especially since a powerful enough genny can replenish that LFP bank every couple hours if needed.

But fact remains if used many times a day, powering the compressor directly from a dino juice...

Re: Powering an electric dive compressor

I would be almost as annoyed by the noise of an electric compressor running for many hours as I would by a dino juice motor.

A huge reason I like sailing is the relative quiet.

Re: Powering an electric dive compressor

Yes, Quattro also does what you want, and can also coordinate between two A/C sourced.

Re: Powering an electric dive compressor

Just noting that for apples to apples comparison, batteries' C/20 rating is the usual for deep cycling.

Re: Powering an electric dive compressor

Looking at Victron, they claim the Quattro's PowerAssist is unique

But some googling shows Magnum has a line with what seems a similar feature.

I think Outback at the high end focus is on...

Re: Powering an electric dive compressor
