Hello everyone,
I have a question for all electrical geniuses out there, I'm hoping you can explain something to me.
I'm trying to figure out if I should buy a NoCo 4 bank smart charger for my 350 AH battery bank...orrr if I should just get an inverter charger like an Iota.
My setup is most likely going to start out with 2/ 6 volt, 350 AH Trojan FLA batteries, and within 2 months, buy another 2 of the same. So I'll have2 seperate banks of 2 batteries each, and 700 AH each bank.
I Want to use 3 different methods of charging said battery banks....shore power, gas and/or propane generator (for emergencies and until I get my solar up,) and of course, solar. I would also like to be able to charge my house batteries while I drive, but I'm not sure that will be feasible with my cars small alternator.
With all that said, what is the fastest method for charging my battery banks with shore power and/or generator....a NOCO 4 bank smart charger or an IOTA, and why does a NOCO charger only charge at the most with 10 amps, but an inverter charger can go as high as a 100 amps?
It's a bit confusing :huh:
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks
