Using an Alternator Controller
If your regular alternator is inadequate, you can install an alternator
controller that bypasses the voltage regulator and boosts the alternator’s
output voltage during charging. This will increase the alternator’s
charging rate at higher battery voltages and ensure more rapid and
complete charging.
Using a High-Output Alternator
Heavy-duty alternators rated from 100–140 amps can replace standard
alternators and produce the higher current and voltage required to charge
multiple battery systems. They are available from RV and auto parts
suppliers.
Charging From AC Power
When recharging from AC power, use a good quality charger or RV
converter that meets the requirements outlined in
“Charging System
Requirements” on page C–2
.

Do not use chargers intended for occasional recharging of automotive
starting batteries. These chargers are not intended for continuous use.
Charging From Alternative Energy Sources
You can also charge your batteries from alternative energy sources such
as solar panels, wind, or hydro systems. Make sure you use the
appropriate battery charge controller for your particular energy source.
CAUTION
Never operate the
XPower Plus
directly from an energy source such as a
solar panel. The inverter must be connected to a battery or a well-
regulated, high-current DC power supply to work properly.
