24 volt 25 to 35 amp battery charger.

My battery charger let the magic smoke out this morning. I'm in need and looking for a new one, the one that I have is no longer made. I'm looking for a bottle of black smoke, but can not find one compatible with my model.

A lot of places I stay I only have a 15 amp outlet. I use a battery charger / 24 volt batteries / inverter for power. Where I don't have power I use a EU2000I generator.

I'm looking for suggestions with a lot of battery chargers have messed up PF and don't play well with smaller generators. I'm not sure if I will have any issues when using a inverter generator.

    I would note the OP's handle "MCIbus". I'm pretty sure he needs 24v.

    OP: Go to "BestConverter.com". There you will find 24v versions of the excellent Iota DLS series. I have a 12v x 45A as an emergency power conditioner. These units will accept virtually any lousy input voltage and charge your batteries--or act as a power supply.

    Hi,

    You can hook battery chargers in series. Two Vector 25 amp units would work well with the generator and probably can be powered from a single 15 amp circuit (I don't have a specification sheet in front of me)

    You are certain you need 24VDC? I can't recall any RV that runs on 24.
