looking again though? is it not just an alternator on an engine?

Yes. Total £50 if you go the right scrappie.
50A 14V = 700W. That's 2HP. That's chainsaw motor territory.
Respectable web site....

the seller is contradicting himself here......
study the charging times, in particular the onboard charger times.....221 minutes.
now read the bit in blue about using an inverter.....charge your battery in minutes not hours.
unless you have a standalone high output charger you will be using your onboard charger via an inverter powered by the super charger.
so......it will still take 221 minutes.
it isnt possible to charge a battery in minutes without causing irrepairable damage.
sounds to me like the seller knows nowt about charging technology.
OK it,s an engine coupled to an alternator, so why will it damage the batteries if van alternator won't?Agreed John. I was an Electrician/driver in the Royal Signals and spent a lot of time charging leasure batteries for the office wagons. Banks of 50 or more. You are absolutely correct, these things are ok in an emergency but regular use will as you say kill the batteries. :Blush:
Or if you still have your genny, use a decent 50amp four stage charger to achieve the same results

do not be missled by people that know nothing about alternators,believe me when i say it will NOT damage your batteries:thumb:OK it,s an engine coupled to an alternator, so why will it damage the batteries if van alternator won't?

one good reason.....your van battery will be at least 99% charged all the time with regular use, so the alternator will only put in what is missing and will be regulated to a few amps, not 50amps.OK it,s an engine coupled to an alternator, so why will it damage the batteries if van alternator won't?

checked my batteries today,98% charged after no solar no ehu no genny for 3 months:thumb:thats what i call good battery management:thumb:Saw these at Peterborough and (as said on one of the show threads) was not tempted to buy as the solar panel put back all we used. Smug? Who me?

on the odd occasion it has gone flat it wont hurt to charge at 50amps (or more) as it is just an occasional charge.
the battery is only there for one primary purpose...to start the engine.
once running everything electrical is powered by the alternator with the battery absorbing and smoothing the output power.
a battery is nothing more than a large , slow discharge capacitor.
a 50% discharged leisure battery will take the full 50amps, reducing as it charges, but bunging 50amps at it time after time, every couple of days or so, wont do it any good at all.
