48 Volt A/C Charger Recommendations? Something around 10 amps

[Brucey]

I would go chargeverter if you need more amps.

30 amps@120v ac is NOT the same as 30 amps@48v dc

@NewGuy23

If you want to draw 15amps from your 120v AC power source

You would need between a 35a - 40a 48v charger


It's easier if you convert to watts

15a X 120v = 1800w

37.5a X 48v = 1800w

Different levels of volts and amps , the same amount of watts, the same amount of power

Haha , it's a little confusing do not worry , amps are relative

Yes, I understand. I don't think you read my original post correctly. Thanks for your advice.

Sorry for the confusion, you did say:

"I have 30 amps of A/C power available"

And want to draw:

15 amps from the A/C, 120 volts

15amps from your 120v AC is 1,800w ?

Just get an EG4 Chargeverter.
You can set the voltage and amperage for whatever you want. It works on 120v or 240v.

Do you think this one would work ok?

It will, after you switch batteries.
I wouldn't use it for lead acid.
The Chargeverter is more versatile. Because it has full adjustability.

10-4, thanks again for you help. I'll just order the chargeverter. One more question if you don't mind? It says I need the cable adapter if I want to use a 120v supply, but I can't find that anywhere. Any idea?

It doesn't exist.
You can just replace the cord end.
Brown = line (hot)
Blue = neutral
Yellow/ green stripe = ground

Do you think I'm good to run this to my ground bus bar, or should I give it its own grounding rod?

I just ordered it. Not cheap. I hope it does what I need it to!

One grounding system for everything.
Never separate ground rod.

It will be the most awesomest charger you ever bought.

I guess I should have asked if you sold them first, but I assume you would have offered if you did. Thanks again.

Not affiliated.
But I personally own two.
