Quatro Battery charging

Just not enough solar PV this winter!.

Quatro has AC1 to charge battery.

But 15kV Quatro overloads my generator or power socket Ionic5 AC outlet.

tried turning down Current in, but Quatro likes 3kW source.

Also any change of load like cooker on'off upsets genny.


Thinking of simple 30A 48V charger, to run on any 240v 2kW source.

Speed of charging is not issue, just getting enough power in winter.

Small petrol genny, but 15% efficient?, makes 1kWh cost 110p - rather expensive.

VS 240v outlet on Ionic 5, might get power for 60p/kWh, under 10p if my neighbour helps.


House is 100% off grid, 47x PV, 2kW Wind turbine, big FLA battery.
