No. Mixing battery types will result in incorrect charging and potential battery damage. Ideally all batteries should be installed at the same time, be from...

There are two core parameters to determine battery bank size: The maximum DC load when the Integrel system is not running. Typically, you want to calcula...

The Integrel control system supports both lithium ion batteries and lead acid batteries (however we do not recommend use of lead-acid).  We will recommend ...

The inverter should be sized to meet the peak AC load. This is not the sum of all of the possible AC loads but the sum of the loads likely to be used at the...

We use DC because it allows us to generate usable electrical power regardless of the rotational speed of the generator. It is also very flexible to manage a...

This information is NOT correct. The following extract is from letter received from Volvo France confirming that the load from Integrel is within the engine...

No, the engine life will not be compromised. In normal cruising life you need to run your engines 1-2 hours per day just to (inefficiently) charge your 12V ...

After the batteries are fully charged, Integrel does not load the engine at all. There is no effect or risk.

Yes, a DC-DC charger is typically recommended for inclusion in most systems. 

It depends on your 12V loads, however you can reduce your 12V house bank to be only a "buffer bank".  This provides significant weight reduction f...
