[RE-wrenches] 24v Battery Charger 80 Amps?

[Dave Palumbo]

Allan,

 

Great idea. I had offered the option of switching to a two OutBack system
but the price was too much. A second SW4024 is less dollars and a great
inverter. I will contact you off list.

Dave,
My best suggestion would be a second SW4024 as a charger (and also as a
spare inverter). It would be bigger than most chargers, could be programmed
much more accurately than a standard charger, and would be familiar to the
client. If you need one contact me off list.

Wrenchsters,

 

Any recommendations on a generator fed Battery Charger for a large 24v
battery bank (1,800AH). It's an existing off grid system with one Trace
SW4024 (has a 120A battery charger). They are getting a larger generator
(14kW) to run shop tools and speed up battery charging. I want to balance
off the second leg of this new generators output with a battery charger that
puts out anywhere from 80 to 100 Amps into the 24v battery bank. 

 

I could use two Iota 24 volt 40 Amp chargers for the 80 Amp max total. 

 

Other options?
