If you are charging batteries with a generator, you want to charge as fast as possible without damaging the batteries. This saves fuel and wear on the generator. With voltage-limiting chargers like these, it is safe to charge at up to 30% of the battery capacity in amp hours. That is, you can charge a 100 amp hour battery with a 30 amp charger, or a 220 amp hour battery with a 75 amp charger.


IBE Industrial Battery Chargers
For larger battery banks we offer IBE battery chargers. These are industrial chargers with higher current ratings than others we offer. Designed for use with generators, these units have an adjustable, filtered output and are protected against overloads, short circuits, line voltage surges and reversed battery connection. Specify 120 or 240 VAC input. (Also available for 48 and 120 VDC battery banks.) Call for details. 5 year warranty.

Battery Accessories

SB Connectors
The Anderson SB connector has been the #1 quick disconnect for over 20 years for battery powered vehicles and fork lifts. Use them to make quick disconnects on battery or inverter cables. Two connectors of the same size and color will mate. The 50 amp version is ideal for PV arrays and motors. The 175 and 350 amp units are used on battery and inverter cables. 175 amp connectors fit 1/0 wire. Contacts must be crimped or soldered. The 50 amp connectors come with terminals for up to #6 wire and are available in black only. Order two of the same size and color to mate.

Hydrometers
The most accurate way to measure the state of charge of a wet cell lead-acid battery is by using a hydrometer to measure its specific gravity. A proper test cannot be made if water has recently been added to a battery cell. Unfortunately, using a hydrometer can be messy and if you get any acid on cotton clothing you get holes. Always wear gloves and eye protection when installing or servicing batteries.

Battery Hydrometer
This hydrometer reads actual specific gravity for an accurate measurement of battery state of charge. A built-in thermometer insures temperature correction. Variation of .20 or greater specific gravity between battery cells indicates a need for battery equalization charging or the presence of a weak cell.

Battery Hydrometer $7.00

Battery enclosures

 

Battery enclosures are a convenient method of mounting, securing and containing batteries and controllers (or other electronic equipment). The larger insulated enclosures will protect the batteries from temperature extremes, and can double or triple the life of the batteries.

Custom Battery Boxes And Electrical Enclosures
In addition to the standard models listed below, we can supply custom enclosures for batteries or complete systems. They feature welded construction with high reflectance paint or powder coat finish, stainless steel hinges, mounting brackets, unistrut flanges, pre-punched mounting holes and lockable latches. Boxes can be bolted together horizontally or vertically and they can be supplied with solar module mounts. Call for price and availability.

Power Vent Battery Box Vent
Lead acid batteries produce hydrogen gas when charging. But if the battery box is left open to vent gas in cold climates, the batteries get too cold and battery capacity is significantly reduced. A vent that solves these problems are especially important when battery boxes are placed in basements, garages and sheds. There heat rises in the structure, a low pressure area forms around the box, cool air flows into the box and gasses vent into the structure. The Power Vent controls battery box venting to remove hydrogen gas while eliminating cold air infiltration into the box. The Power Vent contains a gravity-operated damper that normally stays closed. When connected to a voltage controlled relay the fan operates only when the batteries are being charged and blows gas vapors out. Designed for battery banks under 2200 AH and charge rates under 125 amps. Fan can be operated from the aux relay on a Trace SW inverter or a voltage controlled switch (sold separately below.) The 12/24 volt unit uses 3 watts and pushes 6 cfm with a 360° maximum change of direction. Dimensions: 4" diameter x 7.25" with a 2” PVC pipe socket on the inlet and outlet. The 48 volt unit uses 6 watts and pushes 8 cfm with a 360° maximum change of direction. Dimensions: 4" diameter x 10" with a 2” PVC pipe socket on the inlet and 4” on the outlet.

Power Vent 12/24V $96.00
Power Vent 48V $103.00
VCS-1 AL $96.00
