Resolution and Improvement Plan

Finally, the clouds lifted, more sun arrived, and our power problems dissipated. From that point, we did fine waiting for the utility power to be returned. Eventually it was returned. But I had learned an important lesson: I started hunting for a better charger! Much later, I learned there was a chance that my gasoline “inverter generator” could provide steady enough power to pass for “utility power” and directly power my 48V inverter/charger systems with far more power — but that hasn’t been figured out (yet). What I did find were additional non-computerized 48V battery chargers on eBay, designed for golf cart lead acid batteries. Warning: it turns out they have their own “smarts” in the form of a relay that has to see 48V to begin charging — but I was able to easily rewire around the relay to get around that problem. That skill would turn out to be important, within weeks.
