[Power] Power solutions for charging 150+ XOs1.0/1.5

[Xavier Carcelle]

Dear power-list, Richard,

Concerning the deployment at Madagascar, we are looking at replacing
our current "diesel group" that we use to charge the XO batteries (a
zoo of 100 XO-1.0s and 50+ XO-1.5s).

We then want to redo the math calculation of the load needed during
the charge to see if we can support the charge of 50, 100, 150 XOs
batteries at the same time with different energy solutions (diesel,
wind turbine, water turbine...)

Can you recall us :
-the max current needed during the charge (and probably higher at the
beginning of the charge) ?
-the difference of current needed for 1.0 and 1.5 ?
-what the recommandations regarding the diesel group for 50, 100, 150
XOs to recharge at the same time during the XOs class ?

My warm "power" regards,

Xavier.
