The industry needs a GOOD battery charger ! PFC and fully
adjustable with battery shunt interface, gen-start,<br>
etc. That could be used for lots of installations like this one
Chris is looking for. It's needed all the time.<br>
<br>
It's a no brainer what features it should have. <br>
<br>
I've wanted to do this here for quite a while but there have been
too many irons in the fire as it is.<br>

We are not really advocating doing this. It can cause
nightmares in service and support.<br>
<br>
If one really knows what they are doing, it can be done
(and has been done) but mere mortals should not<br>
be attempting to do this.<br>
<br>
I would get a real AC to DC charger. If IOTA isn't
good enough, maybe Magnum's is<br>
ready or did I hear that the big "X" has had one or two
of these for quite some time now ?<br>

Power factor corrected even ?<span class="HOEnZb"><font

Rectify the generator 110vac to around 165vdc and

looking for an easy solution for
battery charging off a generator, but
trying to save the cost of a big
inverter. I have a customer who needs
to charge a 48V battery bank with a
30A charger off of a generator--but I
need it to sense when the battery
voltage is low, so that the "device"
(charger) will automatically turn on
the (2-wire start) generator and
charge the batteries. I am trying to
avoid the cost of, say, a Magnum
4448PAE with its AGS module, and just
get a voltage sensitive battery
charger. Is this doable? Any ideas?</span></font></font></span></div>
