Ron:
If your client has a large battery bank and the inverter/charger cannot deliver enough charging amps, maybe your client has the wrong inverter/charger. Tacking on accessory equipment complicates an installation. There is a reason integrated inverter/chargers are popular. They all have sophisticated charging algorithms. They are remotely programmable and monitorable. An integrated inverter/charger uses one set of AC and DC leads as opposed to adding another set of both for an outboard charger. An integrated unit can handle AGM functions (maybe not the Solark). An integrated unit will transition seamlessly between inverting and charging and transfer AC loads. If you stop and think about it, modern inverter/chargers are amazing devices. There are many models that can do what you need: One Radian 8048 can deliver 115 amps of battery charging. One Schneider XWPro offers 140 amps. One Solark15 has 275 (???) battery charging amps. (I don’t think the Solark published data is organized well. Maybe someone knows the real value). Good luck.

I have a client with a large battery bank that needs a minimum 85a charge but his all-in-one inverter/charger won’t deliver more than 40. Finding high amp 48v chargers has proven to be a challenge. Victron has one but not sure if there’s anything else out there. Ron earthRight Products - Solareagle.com Alternative Energy Solutions ~ Renewable Energy Products 1-877-925-2929
