Let us know how the Elcon works out.

I am in the process of trying to update my system to direct current generated by my Honda 2000 gen. I have a 48vdc motor driven by a 92ah battery pack. This works great for day sailing, but for extended cruising, I will need a much larger pack or a system setup that will use my generator. I found (through postings here) that you will need a charger that will allow you to pull amps from the gen (which converts the ac to dc output) without shutting down. I have been advised that the Zivan and Elcon Chargers will allow just that. I currently use a Dual Pro 4 bank charger that works great for charging, but I have tried unsuccessfully to run the generator through this. Thus I am investing in a Elcon charger now that I will wire up with a switch that will allow me to turn on when I want to run the generator. It was a little costly (Elcon 2000 charger was around 680 shipped), But it should serve my purpose of 20% cruising 80% day sailing. This allows me to keep my boat light for racing and set for cruising. Hope this helps.
