[RE-wrenches] Industrial battery chargers

[Starlight Solar, Larry Crutcher]

Hi Drake (et alia)

An quality inverter/charger would work for half of our situations. The other half is that we do capacity recovery of AGM and flooded batteries. For that I need unregulated or controllable voltage and manual current limiting.

  I've been through this one, to balance the third leg of a 3 phase generator which has a pair of stacked SW4024s on it.  After a long search of the available industrial chargers, we added another SW4024.  The system had certain heavy surge loads, which we put on a special panel powered  by the third inverter.

  For the money, I think another inverter is the best bet.  Maybe Chinese imports may change the situation, but if you want to stay away from them, another inverter would likely still be your most economical choice.

    Hello battery wrenches,





    I am looking for recommendations for an industrial grade battery charger for our shop. Most of what I am finding is in India, China or Germany but I would like something a little closer to home. I am looking for these features: 
      a.. automatic 3 stage charging selectable for 6 or 12 volt AGM, flooded or GEL 
      b.. manual adjustable voltage control up to 20+ Vdc 
      c.. manual adjustable current limiter 1 to 50+ amps 
      d.. adjustable timer shut off 
    Thanks,
