I'm trying to track down a used leaf battery pack and wondering how to charge it. I can repurpose the cells and charge with my Morningstar controllers (40v). But I wondered if I could use the A.C. charger that's built in along with a SMA inverter.

Then use the high voltage DC (360v) with the new SMA inverter and use it to provide AC to my off grid location. The price of that new inverter (under 1,500 US) is quite attractive.

Any thoughts and ideas?
