Gang Charger

This page is to document all the progress related to desings and implementation of Gang Chargers for The XO.

Introduction

The main idea is that the gang charger has to be a universal battery charger, because if you dont have power at home you cant rely on the XO battery and you have to use some other batteries ( Car_battery, deep cycle batteries), this is an alternative previous to use the human power systems. And the things one have to consider to the gang charger are the voltage and current thresholds of the XO.

Features

• Capable of charging off mains as well as 'car' batteries.
• Adaptable to 50W Solar chargers to charge car batteries.
