Again this is not primarily for me, but it does concern me if there is a way to achieve it without a Phd.
I won't mention 'my mate' but this problem is affecting the operation of his Eber heater. So, here we go...
'Garage' battery chargers are not intelligent, I knew that! BUT, I've got one and 'my mates' got one too. I check my voltages half a dozen times a day. He doesn't understand this. HE has a D4 Eber that conks out, I think because of either too high, or too low voltage.
Is it possible to restrict the output of one of these garage chargers to 14.4 volts in his case, and 28.8 in my case? Some kind of simple regulator that will switch in and out and prevent overcharging. In my case, the charger provides 30 volts when the charger is on a high rate charge, in his case I don't know. What I do know is that his Eber was checked by the agent ( and filters changed ) only 2 weeks ago. I should also mention that his fuel is cleaner than a vicars toothbrush and he is connected to 3 x 110AH batteries in parallel. For myself, I just want optimum performance from my leaisure bank without having to spend £500 or more (which I can't afford) on a sterling system.
So, is it possible to rig up something that will regulate the voltage from 12 and 24 volt 'garage' type battery chargers. There is a virtual pint available for anyone that can help. Cheers! in anticipation....
