Benn, Seconding Mick's jolliness... In last year's Home Power generators article, there's a photo of an Outback Quad Stack of four inverters, installed circa 2006. The two center inverters are set up to invert, and are controlled by the Hub-10 and Mate, but they're really there only as chargers

I use and have used [1] 48 volt-15 amp or [2] 24 vdc - 25 or 40 amp IOTA chargers in series for 48 vdc @ more than15 amps for years with great results. They take really poor quality power and put out just fine, and are super efficient as in great watts per gallon of dead dinosaur burned. Thanks

Hello, Benn~ As regards Iota: these deliver a constant voltage...in fact they strongly resemble a DC power supply. A "45 amp" Iota type charger would deliver that rated amperage only so long as the battery voltage is low relative to the charger's output. In my experience these type chargers taper

G'day Wrenches, I'm looking for an additional charger(s) to increase the charging capacity from the back-up 12 kW Onan generator into the 1200 Ah battery. Right now the generator's full potential output is limited by the charging capacity of the two VFX3648's which have a max charge output of
