Battery charger on Air-X system

Had seen something on this in the forums before..darned if I can find it again!

We have an AIR-X 400w 12v system on the cabin.  It works very well for those weekend get-a-ways and is always charged when we get there.  Occasionally we go up there for longer periods and have purchased a charger to run from our generator. (Xantrex XPower 40A Battery Charger).  Will I need to disconnect the wind generator completely from the batteries to charge them or is it safe to charge with it connected???  I certainly don't want to damage it.
Thanks, Chuck

Re: Battery charger on Air-X system

I think you mean xantrex truecharge 40a charger, and if you do , I dont think there is a problem with the both of them running together.  compared to the generator, the air-x output will be minimal.  hopefully you have an appropriate circuit breaker and stop switch, in which case you could shut off the air x while the generator is running, and you would not lose much.  The final word would likely have to come from xantrex and or southwest windpower.  i think it would be okay, but it never hurts to double check.
