Re: [RE-wrenches] Industrial battery chargers
Larry, I've had very good luck with the gang at Quick Charge ( www.quickcharge.com )and they are located in Oklahoma. Currently they are on about a 3 week lead time. I use them as a back up for my off-grid clients big gennys that don't like to start in our cold climate. I like their 60A/48V unit and they also have a 100A unit but never have used. Good luck my friend.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Industrial battery chargers
Hey Chris; Thanks for the link, they have a charger I've been looking for for a long time: a selectable voltage portable unit. Front switch lets you select 24, 36, or 48 volt battery. R.

The other half is that we do capacity recovery of AGM and flooded batteries. For that I need unregulated or controllable voltage and manual current limiting.

After a long search of the available industrial chargers, we added another SW4024. The system had certain heavy surge loads, which we put on a special panel powered by the third inverter. For the money, I think another inverter is the best bet. Maybe Chinese imports may change the situation, but if you want to stay away from them, another inverter would likely still be your most economical choice.
