For a full charge the best bet would be a 3 stage charging system. That would be for everyday use. A considerably less complicated controller than the xantrex "incharge" would be really nice. I never could make one of those function correctly over about 5 years of playing with it. Otherwise a good bulk charge to get by till the sun comes back would work well.
If it has a taper charge from the factory t would take almost forever to charge a large battery bank. I do like the output, but probably will hate the price.

I talked to my genny buddy about the Kohler and he said: The voltages are adjustable. On the 24v unit, from 24 to 33v. It also tapers the current down to around 40 amps, from a peak of 222. thanks, jay peltz power _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org ----- No virus found in this message.
