... how about this question.... My electric boat project has 24vdc lead batteries driving dc motors. For extended range I want to use a Honda inverter-type generator (2kw) to drive 24v regulated dc power supplies that would be in parallel with the lead batteries. These are cheaper and lighter than iron core transformers.
How much current would flow from the Reg DC supply ? Batteries have very low impedance, and so being in parallel, at 24.0 full volts batteries would hog the load, right ? But when battery voltage drops just one volt to 23.0 upon partial discharge, would the reg DC supply put full rated current into the batteries while trying to keep up the voltage ?
