Hi,
I need to charge a battery from a DC generator (DC motor used as generator). The voltage can get up to 40V and the current up to 4A. At first, I planned to use a buck converter to maintain the voltage at 5V an then power the charge controller with that 5V, but I found on internet that MPPT charge controllers can already do this (regulate the voltage). Can I directly connect the DC generator to an MPPT charge controller without any risk of damaging the battery?
Thanks.
