My ideal battery charger...does it exist?

[LagunaJay]

It would have three inputs:

1) DC input for a solar PV array that could handle up to 40A @ 12V or 20A @ 24V
2) DC input for the outboard’s alternator/rectifier which puts outs 6A @ 13.5V-14.5V
3) AC input for shorepower (30A @ 115V) which incorporates ELCI protection

The DC output would safely and efficiently charge an AGM battery bank (3 x 12V wired in parallel)

If anyone knows if such a beast exists, please let me know.

I don't think so.

You can assemble this out of separate components.

I doubt it, the market for such a beast would too small to pay for the engineering costs.

You'll have to do it piecemeal.

I would like mine to be on the IoT. Internet of things, so I could manage it from my phone.

Does not exist..

I've thought about the same idea. Wouldn't it be nice to have only one "thing" that is deciding how to manage the smart charging for your batteries? Multiple sources could be provide the DC input. Right now I watch my Victron SmartSolar, my Promariner charger , and my dumb alternator sort of haphazardly muddle their way through deciding what level of charging is needed.
