[RE-wrenches] Charger recommendations

[Steve Higgins]

Good Evening Wrenches...

Wow, they can get HOT!!!!

I don't know if I would mount this one near a battery bank of any type.


Also, these are not for lead...  Most Lead Acids need a higher voltage than
57 volts... You also have no control over how it terminates charging.

At 48 Volts, I suggest using Outback, Victron, Sunny Island, or Magnum
Inverter..  You may need to cascade them.

The Iota Charger is okay as you can control the (IQ4) voltage, but if the
battery is lead and already sulfated, you will have a hard time recovering
with an IOTA and an IQ4.   Without the IQ4 the voltage may be a bit too low
for some Lead-based batteries.

Hope this helps.
