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

Sorry boB, I retract my advice then :-)
Ive done it fine (I do like to use big filter caps on the input to
clean up ripple) and keep close tabs on whats going on.
My listeroid has been running into an MX60 for many years (7 or 8
years) without issues at around 3kw into 48v bank, and has proved to
be the most reliable way to couple a generator that I know of (for
what its worth).

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

The midnite classic 250 can do this fine. Rectify the generator
110vac to around 165vdc and feed into classic. Use Aux functions
to start and stop generator based on battery voltage or SOC %.

Dear people:
I'm 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?
THANKS.
