Hi All
Very fundamental beginner's question here.
I currently have a 160amp hour 48-volt closed cell battery bank running a thunderstruck 10KW motor and all works well. ( Looking forward to lithium in the future).
QUESTION: If I am charging the battery using solar panels - or in some cases a generator - can I run the motor at the same time?
There a several claims on Google search that you cannot charge and discharge a battery bank at the same time.?
If you are running solar panels ( which I am about to install) - I can't imagine that you switch them off each time you want to run the motor.
Can someone please clarify if I can charge and discharge simultaneously, or will this damage the batteries or create other issues?
The expert help from this group is very much appreciated.
Richard
