Batteries

In order for a moving boat to keep moving, a high-performance battery and the most efficient means of storing energy is needed. Marine batteries used in marine are designed so as to be gel batteries and are deep-cycled. There is no liquid in the battery as in other batteries. The boat is subjected to quite severe and at times long-lasting jolts. In this case, the battery may leak liquid, a short circuit may occur due to leakage, and the battery may malfunction. This is a very serious problem for a boat traveling in the middle of the sea. In order to prevent these problems, gel marine batteries have been developed.

It is quite important for a boat to maintain movement. In the event of a malfunction, the repair facility that is easily available on land may not be available in the open sea. For this reason, a battery with a long power supply and a completely maintenance-free battery should be selected. Thus, the voyage is completed in a less dangerous and more comfortable way.

Batteries

Batteries designed for boats are resistant to extreme temperatures or extremely cold weather conditions. The electrical energy storage level of the battery is not affected by the air temperature. Marine batteries that are completely maintenance-free are used in boats. These battery types do not require adding liquid or electrolyte to the battery. Boat batteries are resistant to turbulent voyages, heavy shocks, and convulsions. Marine batteries have a longer lifespan than batteries produced for automobiles.

As Pier Ocean Marine, we calculate the energy need of your boat and supply and install batteries according to your needs so that your boat and the equipment inside it work as healthy and uninterrupted as possible.

Charging

These devices charge the battery with this direct current energy, as well as convert the sinusoidal alternative electrical energy into the energy we call direct current, semiconductor materials such as thyristor and diode.

Measures have been taken against residual and grounding at the output of the devices, and the vital risks have been reduced to zero. If desired, residual current relays are used in the devices. In all our rectifier systems, safety equipment is used perfectly and completely. Moreover, these pieces of equipment are of great importance for our company and are used completely without efforts to reduce costs. The most important equipment of rectifiers is rectifier groups. In these groups, the cooling aluminum sections and the operating currents of the diodes are very significant and their percentage values should be calculated properly. Devices should not have to stop their operation due to excessive heat and should be able to work comfortably at a minimum of 90% efficiency without any problems.

Charging

Battery charge rectifiers are specially made for each type of battery as the supply voltage of each type of battery and the percentage charge current change according to the battery type. Battery charge rectifiers must have a minimum charge speed of 100 Hz. The peak voltages of the battery group to be charged should be calculated properly according to the battery type, and the float charging times should be evaluated as between 5 hours, with a minimum of 1 hour.

It should be protected against overvoltage because the most important point in batteries is to know the charging voltages of the batteries well and it should be charged in a way that does not damage the battery plates. It is necessary not to leave the batteries empty and not to wear the battery plates.

Inverter

The use of inverters on the boat is now quite common. In the simplest terms, an inverter is a name given to the devices that convert 12 Volt DC current to 110 /220 Volt AC current. Most of the electrical appliances used on the boat operate on a 12 volt DC current. However, it will not be possible to have the 12-volt version of each electric appliance. It should also be noted that electric 12 volt devices are more expensive than volt ones of 110/120 volts.

The main task for choosing an onboard inverter is to calculate how many watt consumers you have.

Inverter

The normal operating power of the inverters should be more than the total wattage you use. For example, a 60-watt refrigerator, 50-watt television, etc., we need to add up and find your total consumption. However, the point to be noted here is that electrical appliances draw a lot of load in the first operation. This is especially seen for products such as refrigerators. This should also be taken into account, and the instantaneous lifting power for the onboard inverter should also be considered.

In fact, the important point in choosing an inverter on the boat is that it should be more powerful than consumption. Another aspect of using an inverter on board is battery capacity. How many hours can you run the electrical appliances you use on the boat with your boat battery capacity? It is actually not difficult to make this calculation either.
