One of the most important things you can get for your wind turbine is, the charge controller. As the name suggests, this device is used to control battery charging. Continuous overload your cells can cause electrolyte boiling, so that the batteries dry, and ultimately ruin the expensive battery bank.
If you are familiar with how other people work charge controllers, such as solar cells, for example. You should know that simply monitorBattery voltage and when the batteries are fully charged, the control panels of the shorts. However, this type of device does not work for wind turbines because they could burn the controller, or even destroy your generator.
You might think, why not disconnect the batteries when fully charged? Well, this does not work, because most of the wind turbines is overloaded if they are not loaded, and then possibly further damage to the generator. This happened to a friendI recently, and was not amused by this at all.
So this makes the installation of a wind turbine load controller as the only plausible option. This means that the batteries are fully charged and then automatically to an alternating load, which may continue to change the power generated by the wind to be used elsewhere.
Some of the things that you can use the extra energy by heating water, powering your home refrigerator or just using it for lighting the house. WindAlternator charge controllers are on different voltages such as 12V, 24V, 36V and for each model available to meet wind turbine.
