I'm wanting to use my DuroStar 3300W gasoline generator to charge my 48V 200ah 9.6kWh LiFePO4 battery using the AC input via my all-in-one Eco-worthy 48V 3500W hybrid inverter.
I have no trouble charging the battery via the electrical grid when connecting through the AC input into the inverter, but I'm wanting to cut ties completely with the grid. On cloudy days I'm having trouble charging the battery with my solar panels.
When I connect the generator to the inverter, it recognizes it as AC input. It charges for about 30 seconds, then stops. A few mins later, it starts charging again for a few seconds, then stops. If I let it continue, the inverter will eventually throw a Fault Code 15 ("AcOverCurrHw" -
Inverter overcurrent hardware protection) and shuts down.
The inverter shows the input voltage fluctuating between 122v and 125v from the generator. I've read where it is possible to connect gas powered generators to systems in order to charge batteries as a backup. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I have reached out to Eco-worthy but have not received a response. Thanks!
