I have several 10 Outback inverter stacks in o-t-g applications and I use 66kW
Prime Power gensets for charging. It is common for me to see a total of 25kW of
charging w/low battery V although 18kW is about the average. I feel if the
loads dictate 36kW of inverter power and I can charge at 25kW then supporting
charging and loads could be 60kW plus. Most of these are in tropical
environments and controlling battery cell temps has been my biggest challenge
as I try to balance minimized run time/fuel consumption via robust charge rates
and keeping cell temps below 105 F. This is not easy with diurnal temps about
80F. Generous battery can spacing and big time ventilation is mandatory in hot
climes.
