The generator driven by your vehicle’s engine. With a DC-DC charger it becomes a charge source for the house bank on the move.
On the move, the engine is a generator you already own. Paired with a DC-DC charger, the alternator becomes a serious charge source — invaluable on cloudy days or long drives.
It feeds the house bank through a DC-DC charger, alongside solar, as a second charge source that triggers the charge/load bus split.
Design your van, boat, cabin or RV system in Wattonomy and it treats the alternator as a charge source, sizes the DC-DC stage and splits the bus once it joins solar — from the appliances you actually run, sized to the recognized standard for your region. You see it on the wiring diagram, in the sized parts list, and in a plain-English build pack that explains the reasoning behind every choice. No account, no email — about a minute to a complete, validated design.
Yes, through a DC-DC charger that takes power from the alternator while the engine runs and delivers it to the house bank at the right profile.
Not with a DC-DC charger in between — it delivers a correct, current-limited lithium profile and protects both the bank and the alternator.
It takes about a minute. No account, no email.
