FAQ’s XS Power IntelliSUPPLY User GuideFAQCan I run this charger from a portable generator?Yes with a word of caution. Since the output of the battery charger is directly proportional withthe input voltage, we recommend portable generators with automatic voltage regulation. TheIntelliSUPPLY is calibrated at the factory assuming 120VAC, 60Hz. Deviations from this voltagewill cause deviations in the output voltage and overall performance.How many batteries can I recharge at one time with the IntelliSUPPLY?This depends on the size of the batteries. All batteries in the bank must be of the same type andsize. In addition, the IntelliSUPPLY is expecting the battery bank to be at full charge in ten hours orless. Therefore the size of the batteries and their depth of discharge will play a role in the answerhere. Given they were all XS Power 16V AGM batteries with a size of 45Ah at 100% discharged,you can charge up to four in parallel in ten hours.Calculating external Battery Charging TimeCharging time will depend on the amp-hour capacity of your battery and on how deeply it isdischarged. The following equation calculates an approximate charging time:Charging Time = CAP x DODCC x 80% where:Charging Time = Battery recharge time in hoursCAP = Battery capacity in amp-hoursDOD = Battery depth of discharge in percent.A fully discharged battery has 100% DOD.CC = Charge current. The rated current output of thecharger in amps.80% = Typical charging efficiency for lead-acid batteries.example:An XS Power 16V AGM battery rated at 100 amp-hours is 40% discharged, that is, it has aDOD = 40%. Charging time with an IntelliSUPPLY 15A unit is calculated as follows:Charging time = 100Ah x 40% = 3.3 hours15A x 80%16Discover other replacement starting and charging parts on our website.
