Aloha Fam,
Trying to help my friend get their battery bank charged from a basic gas generator.
It's a 48v battery bank 200ah, sealed lead acid batteries.
She does have solar but wants backup for extended cloudy days etc.
She already has a little gas generator. Dont know the specs.
To determine the charger size, do I take 120v from the generator and multiply it by the charger amps. Aka a 30 amp charger would charge 3600wh and the battery bank is 9600wh so charging would take 3 hours. Assuming the generator could handle that load?
Do my numbers make any since? And does anyone have a product recommendation for charging this battery bank off a generator. Something simple for intermittent use.
