Generator And Battery Bank System

A ready made automated built in battery charger set up with a solar panel or a diesel ac generator is difficult to find and procure or may be too costly and complicated.

Generator and battery bank system.

A battery backup system is best for low draw applications is silent used indoors but requires an external source to recharge. If i go with a 24v system is there any potential problem. Below are the steps to charging your batteries with a generator while using as little fuel as possible. Bulk charge at 10 of the battery bank s c20 rate.

I know it is not good to be running used batteries but this will just be till i need more power and start setting up a full battery bank to power the house that i will start building in 2yrs. You will also have to perform an equalisation maintenance charge. A battery bank may be composed of a single battery or multiple interconnected deep cycle batteries that work together as one large battery at a required voltage and amp hour capacity.

Aussie batteries and solar stock a large range of 12v 24v or 48v or 120 volt battery banks for use with most solar and off grid applications. A generator is best for higher wattage appliances is fuel inefficient with low draw applications is noisy must be used outside and consumes a fuel source to run. You may want to limit charging amps on the inverter and or avoid running large loads while running the generator so it doesn t overload. You have pretty big inverter for the size of both generator and battery bank.

Then run the generator to charge the batteries or to use high power items. The first step in setting up your system to charge batteries efficiently is to program your inverter battery charger to charge at 10. The simple circuit design provided here will make almost everything automatic and will cost you not even a dollar barring the 4 way switch and the ammeter. For 2 000wh choose a battery bank which provides at least 4000wh 4kwh to keep your batteries from going below 50 capacity this will help your batteries achieve more cycles over time.

In my battery bank i used two vmax slr155 batteries rated at 2 1kwh each for a total of 4 2kwh or 4 200 watt hours.
