[QUOTE="RuddyCrazy, post: 641851, member: 19700"] If one is going to use a decent wind genny for an off grid solution then a dump or diversion load MUST be put in place. for instance lets say there is no wind or sun and the op charges the battery with a genset then a storm brews up and the wind genny is putting out max current, well that power needs to go somewhere or it will overcharge the batteries and get them boiling to the point of all the electrolyte boiling away. The easiest way is put in a resistive element and use it to heat water. [/QUOTE]
