Re: [RE-wrenches] 24v Battery Charger 80 Amps?

[Allan Sindelar]

Dave, My best suggestion would be a second SW4024 as a charger (and also as a spare inverter). It would be bigger than most chargers, could be programmed much more accurately than a standard charger, and would be familiar to the client. If you need one contact me off list.

It’s an existing off grid system with one Trace SW4024 (has a 120A battery charger). They are getting a larger generator (14kW) to run shop tools and speed up battery charging. I want to balance off the second leg of this new generators output with a battery charger that puts out anywhere from 80 to 100 Amps into the 24v battery bank.   I could use two Iota 24 volt 40 Amp chargers for the 80 Amp max total.   Other options?   Dave Palumbo Independent Power LLC www.independentpowerllc.com NABCEP Certified PV Installer Vermont Solar Partner 802.888.7194     _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
