[RE-wrenches] Charger recommendations

[William Miller]

Ron:



If your client has a large battery bank and the inverter/charger cannot
deliver enough charging amps, maybe your client has the wrong
inverter/charger.  Tacking on accessory equipment complicates an
installation.



There is a reason integrated inverter/chargers are popular.  They all have
sophisticated charging algorithms.  They are remotely programmable and
monitorable.  An integrated inverter/charger uses one set of AC and DC
leads as opposed to adding another set of both for an outboard charger.  An
integrated unit can handle AGM functions (maybe not the Solark).  An
integrated unit will transition seamlessly between inverting and charging
and transfer AC loads.  If you stop and think about it, modern
inverter/chargers are amazing devices.



There are many models that can do what you need:  One Radian 8048 can
deliver 115 amps of battery charging. One Schneider XWPro offers 140 amps.
One Solark15 has 275 (???) battery charging amps.  (I don’t think the
Solark published data is organized well.  Maybe someone knows the real
value).



Good luck.

Hi All,



I am looking for recommendations for a standalone 48v high amp charger
(min. 100a). I have a client with a large battery bank that needs a minimum
85a charge but his all-in-one inverter/charger won’t deliver more than 40.
Finding high amp 48v chargers has proven to be a challenge. Victron has one
but not sure if there’s anything else out there.
