This has been discussed on this list in years past. It is possible to use an outback charge controller as a battery charger. You need to put the 120 AC into a bridge rectifier, then feed the 120 DC into the controller’s PV input. So you’ll have an 80 amp battery charger.

You can manually adjust Iotas with tweaking the potentiomiters while monitoring it with a god volt meter. But no time adjustment.

Wrenches,
Does anyone know of a 120/12 volt battery charger that can be programmed for absorb and float voltage and time in absorb mode? I have been needing this product for many years but I can only find it in inverters with built in chargers from Magnum, Outback, and Xantrex.
