System Voltage144 Volts
ChargerManzanita Micro PFC20, 120/240 VAC input, 12/450 VDC output
This charger is designed to charge any battery pack from 12 volts to 360 volts nominal (12 to 450 VDC peak.) It is power factor corrected and designed to either put out 20 amps (if the battery voltage is lower than the input voltage) or draw 20 amps from the line (if the line voltage is lower than the battery voltage.)
Efficiency is 88% to 96% percent on the beta test units depending on input and output voltage.

DC/DC ConverterIota DLS-45 Amp
The DLS series converter/power supply can be used with or without a battery. When used as a converter/power supply, the DLS will only supply what is required by the load. When not in use it is essentially off, reducing electricity usage. Even in its subcompact size, the DLS series converter/power supply, at full load, has an operating temperature half that of some switch mode electronic s. This means substantially longer life and safer operation.
Instrumentationstock and
Battery bank monitor, Xantrex Link 10 with 500 amp shunt.

You can display volts, amps, amp-hours, or Time of Operation Remaining. You may select automatic or smart sleep modes and scanning. The Link-10 also measures and reports kilowatt-hours and historical battery information such as: number of cycles, deepest discharge, and average depth of discharge. It automatically learns and displays Charging Efficiency.
