[RE-wrenches] Additional Battery Charger

[bob]

Look into the Magnum inverters as 2nd chargers, very good chargers with
generators.

 

I have done this many times, in the case of failure of the other inverters
for some reason, run wires and be back up and running.

I think the 4448 inverter is 60 amps @ 48 volts with an input of 16 or so
amps AC.

 

Later,

Bob

G'day Wrenches,

 

 I'm looking for an additional charger(s) to increase the charging capacity
from the back-up 12 kW Onan generator into the 1200 Ah battery.  Right now
the generator's full potential output is limited by the charging capacity of
the two VFX3648's which have a max charge output of 45A each.

 

The idea here is to use the generator to its full charging capacity when it
is running, taking in to consideration that the generator will feed any AC
loads before charging the battery. 

 

Iota and IBE chargers have been suggested.  Any comments on these or other
makes?

 

Do all generator types (diesel, propane, LNG, gasoline) run more efficiently
when fully loaded?  or is this only the case with diesel (so i've heard)?

 

thanks,

benn
