Conventional wind generators have the disadvantage that they occupy a lot of space with their spinning blades and large poles. This vertical axis generator solves the problem this by taking up much less space. It can be mounted on a boat, mobile home, caravan or small building. It is also more suitable for areas where the wind direction changes, as they don''t need to be pointed in the wind direction to work. The telescopic design means you can fold the generator to half its length when not in use or when there are high wind speeds, and an LED display give you a readout of output voltage so you know when it''s working effectively.
Cables, mounting bars and a strong magnetic base are included so this is a complete portable wind generator solution for camping, boating, fishing etc.
There is no need to use a charge controller when charging the battery. The battery can be connected directly to the battery terminal of the Wind generator for charging. When the battery is fully charged, the generator will automatically cut off the power to battery and the display will go out.
