I know similar questions has been asked before but I didn't want to bring up old threads.
I have a gas engine that is hooked to an alternator to generate power. The generator is rate at 14v @ 100AMP max output at some x rpms.

I have a few questions if you don't mind answering:

1. There are a lot of Solar Charge Controller, but I don't know if it is suitable for an alternator. Can I use them to control the charging? Can they handle the current from the alternator?
2. Can I connect the one (1) alternator to two (2) charge controller? If so, will the output AMP be divided by 2 into each charger? So 50AMP per charger now?
3. What charger do you recommend?

Thank you!

 

Doesn't the alternator have it's own regulator, or one built in?
An alternator needs a regulator to control it's field current, which, in turn, controls the output voltage.

 

You mean they have their own current regulator?

 

You mean they have their own current regulator?

Yes.
They have a regulator that controls the alternator output voltage to properly charge the vehicle's battery.

 

Does the charger's input matter at all? Wouldn't 100amp of current fry up the charger? Or maybe I don't know how amps work.

 

Why do you need a charger?
A charger only takes the current it needs.
What are you trying to charge?

 

I'm trying to charge a 12v battery and use it as well. Do you think these solar charger will do the job?
