Hey Dave,

Jacks problem right now is he doesn't have a service big enough that is readily accessible to power the charger that wont cause a tripped breaker or the light dimming!!

Also, right now he only has 48V (4 batteries), but is getting 6 more very shortly.

I dont know how much you have done on your charger already, But I have a PCB of this charger all drawn out in eagle that I will be proto-typing in the next few weeks. Im working on a kit basically that this will be the logic, you supply the power stage which is just a rectifier, caps, IGBT, and inductor.

I could use a beta tester that is local...your only an hour away...If your interested.
