Adding VAs Gen Running Things Question
I had the gen out again doing a few tests. One thing that I don't understand is this: RV fridge on 120v (a heater) by itself VA (and watts same) 355 MW by itself 1426 (watts 1340--was some PF wi...

BFL13,
I would not go 70-90 as the speed of charging slows on your AGm's at 72.5% state of charge (not sure why cold perhaps?)
How cold will the battery bank be?
When actually camping instead of like today doing it backyard, the furnace would be on and the batts are inside, so I would have more capacity and a lower charging rate at the 75 amps. Means getting closer to 80% before end of Bulk.
I don't like the idea of wasting the allowed two hours at lower amps either. My best bet is to go over somewhere out of the trees and get some solar if the (very low) sun is shining at all, and do the portable gen while also idling for some alternator time. That way I can get maybe 90 amps. It is all circumstantial by each camping trip, so no panic. We manage.
Not full timing, so nothing is that vital. Just want to know what is possible now we have the little gen. I think I have that figured out now.
