Thanks for the reply
Thought as much
Have been trying to avoid the $1000 spend (in Oz) on one of those
+ $500 for a single DC to DC charger
Not worth it for my 50amp alt.
Back to the drawing board for me
My mistake
I thought the alt charged FLA start and DC to DC charge went from FLA start to Lifepo4
.
And underway is something I would like to get happening but using the 120amp charger that our victron multiplus has.
I have an additional 50 amp victron Phoenix charger sitting in a locker doing nothing I would like to bring into play as well
Back to looking at the Mecc Alte 10kva belt driven Genset head
That'll run both easily.
That extra oomph is nice when the Genset is running
Should look at doing same with the spare 50amp Phoenix we have
It's exactly how we treat ours but getting the bloody things back to full without running the Genset for several hours is the issue
Unseasonal rainy weather has not helped our 2.5kw solar installation.
Never quite understood the attraction of dc to dc chargers. Their low amperage output doesn't take advantage of a decent LFP's charge acceptance rate. The same function is accomplished with two rotary battery switches that will carry a lot more juice, although that requires active management by a person to direct charge output current to the desired destination. Compromises.....
