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>
