an unusual charging problem
Hi all, I'm generator charging from need for the first time in my life. It is not hot enough to run the roof air. Here is a bit about the system. Magnum 3000 Hybrid 12 volt to 120 volt with A...

Hi BFL13.
Well, splitting is something new to try.
I'm not doing *any* power sharing. I'm simply using the Magnum as a glorified battery charger.
I don't understand *why* when I increase the load on the generator that charging amperage RISES. It is certainly counter intuitive. I expect that splitting will made the situation worse, not better.
BTW doing weird stuff--well thank you--that's compliment coming from the guy who sometimes uses 4 chargers at one swoop.

I don't understand PT's set-up at all. but perhaps he can actually get his batteries charged without all this power sharing stuff the Magnum does if he just splits his battery bank when doing a recharge, and does half at a time where the charger can do its full rated amps?
I doubt it is a generator limitation. I can charge at 155 amps with my Honda 3000 using a PF corrected 100 and a non-PF corrected 55 both set at 14.8v.
PT is doing something weird! :)
