I am looking for cheap hardware to convert AC to DC and charge large batteries in a power out/cloudy day situation. This would be for emergency standby recharging if solar was not producing. The idea is run the generator during the day to get the battery up enough to carry critical demands through the night.
At low power levels I have powered PWM solar chargers with a laptop supply. It seems to work okay.
Any thoughts or experience out there.
