    Generator battery sensing start

    Hi

    I have a battery bank which I would like to save from over dicharge so would like to charge from my remote start ex military generator. My question is that is it possible to sense the battery condition and switch on the generator to charge batteries and do it with out me thinking about it. Is there a circuit some where? or product.

      Morningstar solar makes some auto start relays, but they need a suitable generator to work with.

          Cheers for that Ill now look. My generator has a basic on off switch on a flylead so I beleive I just need a relay type unit.

          Thanks again Mike
