Isn't your battery charger around 120 amps?
If so I'm surprised that your Honda 2200 is powerful enough to power your charger.
I think the maximum battery charger i can use with my Honda 2000i is about a 75 amp battery charger .
Anyways excellent chart.
He said his Magnum was dialed down to 13a(120v) so it would run off the 2200, and it was doing about 98 amps. Since the Magnum is PF -corrected, the 98 amps was not too much for the 2200 (1800w running)
(He was getting another 10-15 amps from solar.)
I doubt the 2000 (1600w running) can run a 75 amper. My B&S P2200 (1700w running) can just manage--with overload light flashing the whole time until amps taper to 68, when lamp finally turns steady green--- my non-PF corrected 75 amper set to 14.8v. Expect a 60 amper is the most for the 2000.
Sadly, there are few chargers under 100 amps that are PF corrected, since you can run up to a 75 with a 15a circuit. (PD 80 needs a 20a circuit)
