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>
<br>
Power factor corrected even ?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

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
