Hello,
This seems like a good idea but I don't see anyone else writing about it in the archives.
Could you use a high output alternator to recharge your house batteries instead of using solar panels?
Link is to a HP Alternator replacement for an Express Van. 200amps 12v at idle.
I use 80-100 amps a day and generally drive some, most days.
Looks like 30 minutes parked at idle (1/2 gallon), or some driving would keep me charged.
If I used a Genie smart charge controller to optimize my vehicle and house battery charging, would this work or am I missing something?
Why isn't this a more popular choice?
Thanks
