Frequently the rectifier and batts both go to the bus bar in the fuse or circuit breaker panel. Some folks feed both the rectifier and batts through a circuit breaker. If you do that you need to make sure the breaker can handle the max output of the rectifer or more. When there has been an extended power outage the batts will max out the rectifier current.

I purchased and built an Eltek rectifier product using these products: CG1S-AUN-VC COMPACT POWER SHELF / REAR WIRE 200AMP MAX 48V UNIVERSAL OUTPUT POLARITY BC2000-A01-10VC 48V, SYSTEM CONTROLLER W/ ETHERNET, NEXTGENERATION, W/ CLEI V0750A-VC RECTIFIER, 840W, 53.5V, 15A, FAN COOLED (BOTTOM TO TOP) -INPUT: 90-264VAC It seems like this just takes AC power and gives me 48v DC out. I was expecting it would also attach to a battery array and provide charging of those batteries plus use their power source if grid power was lost. Am I totally wrong on that? I don’t see any method of connecting batteries to this power shelf :/ Noob out, Scott
