I have been lurking in the background wanting to ask a question for quite some time. You guys seem pretty nice and I am over the fear of getting flamed by now. Here goes.
I Charge batteries using a 4KW Onan hooked to my outback inverter. I was always curious to know if the MX 80 would handle a rectified output from a smaller generator and actually charge without using the inverters charger. The book tells me that the charge controller will handle up to 150 volts of input, but they refer to solar input. I would worry about the pulsed nature of the rectified single phase power. Any thoughts?
