Running The Battery Charger With Portable Generators
www.enerdrive.com.au Page 21
NOTE
This charger is suitable for use with most sine wave inverter type generators only. Ensure your generator
never runs out of fuel when running the battery charger. When a generator runs out of fuel, its nal
splutters of life produce very transient AC voltages that can damage your battery charger.
Be sure to purchase a good generator that has a clean AC output. If in doubt simply connect a surge
protector (like you would use for your computer) to the generator.
The Enerdrive Battery Charger will run very comfortably from many of the common market generators
around the 1kVA range for 20 and 40Amp charger models and 2kVA for 60 and100 Amp charger models.
Note: Units can be programmed to a lower output if you need to run o a smaller kVA generator.
When you rst start up your portable generator, let the generator reach a suitable operating temperature
and stability before you plug in your battery charger.
Using low cost, unregulated generators will likely result in charger damage not covered under the
Enerdrive warranty.
