Next message: (no email): "Re: lv-ab: Adding AC power for cooling"
The consensus seems to be that an alternator to charge a battery bank that
would be substantial enough to power a pure sine wave inverter of 1500 or
2000 watts would be the best route. Can anyone be more specific about the
alternator type (1 wire or 3 wire, amperage etc.), battery size/s and
inverter size and make? Also a 3 stage regulator?
I would appreciate specifics so that I don't have to go through the learning
curve to know what I need...yes I know...I'm lazy. :>)
