A 12KW generator can produce 250A at 48V, and the breaker should be 12KW *125% or 62.5 amps. You may have an unbalanced load, you probably can only put 6KW per leg of the 240V feed. On Sat, Feb 8, 2014 at 2:46 AM, wrote: > Hi All, > > 3 VFX 3648 > 2 FM 80 > 6.5 kw solar > 12 kw generator > PSX

Hi Bob, While I did see on this list earlier about batteries preferring to charge slowly, some manufactures feel very differently. In my experience the industrial type require a C10ish minimum charge rate, some higher even. The info was on the HUP website jay peltz power On Feb 9, 2014, at

Hi Bruce, Please explain "feeding it properly". Charging any lead acid battery slowly actually preserves battery life. As long as you are achieving the recommended charge voltage (temperature compensated) for long enough time, and reaching 100% SoC regularly, you are caring for the battery. At
