<p>Any one have high capacity electrical systems in thier van?<br /><br />This is what I came up with when trying to think of a simple way to have lots of energy with you on the go... <br /><br />This way I can get gas at any gas station, the charging of the batteries would only take a few hours, and I would have enough energy for a few days at a time.<br /><br />This system only has 3 main components. <br /><br /><strong>1. Charging</strong><br />DC Gas Generator Charger ( 12V 300 amps, 3600 watts only in dc not ac )<br />A generator that produces dc voltage and high current, to charge deep cycle batteries really fast.<br />Has an AUTO START battery monitor, so when the battery is low and ready to charge, the gen automatically starts up and starts charging.<br />http://www.alten-dc.com/dc-generators.html<br /><br /><strong>2. Batteries</strong><br />4X Lifeline Deep Cycle 250 Amp Hours RV Batteries<br />A total of 12 volts, 1000 Amp Hours 12,000 watt hours... <br />http://www.lifelinebatteries.com/rvdeepcyclebatteries.php<br /><br />3. <strong>Inverter</strong><br />Any inverter, or multiple inverters that are require for your power draw... <br /><br />I was thinking of making my own gas generator with custom silencer box, a harbor fright motor, and 2 or 3 alternators in series to be able to provide high current to charge the big batteries really fast...<br /><br />Then mount the generator outside on a hitch mounted pad.<br /> <br />Make it stealthy and all the fumes are on the out side... <br /><br />No solar or sun required... <br /><br />What do you guys think? <br />What am I missing?<br />Im a noob to electrical stuff....</p><p> </p>
