just bought a mep-025a 28 volt dc generator could anyone tell me if you can safly use this gen set to charge the batteries on my mep-003a . what were these used for when in service any information would help. i bought this thinking i could use it to boost my mep-003a when its below 20 deg.thanks guys

i think you could, as long as you dont go beyond 30 volts. i would think this set would be well regulated. i never had one. but i had the 120 ac mep-15a. would make a good battery charger if you were without power. a good meter would be a must. i dont know what they were used for, but if it was to jump vehicles you would think they would have a slave recepticale.

Agreed, the charging current is determined by the applied voltage so you should be fine.
The ideal charger reduces the voltage after a period of time to limit the current, but not the majority of automotive starting battery chargers.

How did that genset work out for you?
Do you jump or start trucks w/ it?

Did you add any accessories?

Is there another box deal that is needed to charge w/ this?
Any NSN or Part numbers?

Let me know please!

I have the 2kw 28VDC gen. It charges the trucks pretty fast. But I don't recommend jump truck with it.
