Not seeing much discussion about this when searching, but it seems like an obvious charger solution - readily available and inexpensive. An example below, although these kinds of power supplies are ubiquitous and made by lots of folks. This one has adjustable voltage from 25.65-29.7v. Note that this is the 27v version, for a 24v nominal lifepo4 system, the 24v power supply won't be the right voltage.
I have two MPP LV2424s set up as split phase 240v, and per MPP, they need 240v input from a generator. I only have a 120v generator, so enter a separate charger. If this one works out, I'll buy a couple more power supplies and stack them up, to use as much of the generator's capacity as reasonable, and shorten the time the generator needs to run.
Maybe the reason this isn't more common is because it's not a set and forget solution. Although one could set the power supplies for the battery bank float voltage, which would work fine. My usage case will be for when charging from a generator, with monitoring of both the system as a whole, and the state of charge of the batteries.
Any thoughts? Anything I'm missing?
