![]() ![]() ![]() When running my geny to power the shop, It would be charging battries. Sounds like you were doing exactly what I'm looking at doing. Unless you mean the charging capabilities of the inverter. (on edit) I'm only talking about an inverter, nothing about a charge controller. The rest of the time we lived on the inverters. Fieldlines microhydro generator#When the generator was on (like for the washer/dryer) it'd be charging the batteries. our home operates on three inverters altogether).Īnd we didn't have solar for many years. If the Xantrex were to die, I'd replace it with another Magnum MS2812 with remote (I already have two. If I want the generator to run, I do so manually. Simply, I don't want the generator running when I'm not home, or asleep, or any other time IT wants to. I do not even leave "generator auto-start" enabled. you can direct it to NOT auto-start the generator during "RV park quiet times", for instance. Not having the "plain" one to compare with, I suspect the main differences are in the auto start area. The "MC" (motor coach) allows some settings not available on the "plain" SW2512. I have been using an SW2512MC for over a decade with absolutely NO complaints. Is the Xantex controller that much better? I would rather spend more up front if its worth it but the Aims is attractive price wise.Īny thoughts-suggestions? Is there another brand/model I should consider? I have found the Xantrex for about $1500.00 and the Aims for about $800.00. I also stumbled across the Aims system with similar specs. I've been reading about the Xantrex SW2512MC and found they have been discontinued but still available. I'm considering 2500 to 3000 watt true sign wave inverter/controllers. I'm looking at building a small stand alone power system that has generator charging. No load current power switch on - 2amps DC or 24 watts charge rate (adjustable) 150 amps DC at 12 V nom. Idle consumption < 16 watts Typical at Full Voltage Waveform Sine wave, 34 - 52 steps per cycle AC charging (Required for full pass through and full charging) ![]()
