Biggest converter for Honda 2000
I am trying to assist someone else. They are getting a Honda 2000 watt generator. What is the biggest converter that it will be able to handle when charging 3 pair of depleted GC 6v batteries,...

3 pair of GC-2 batteries can suck about 180-200 amps of power if you can find a converter that big.. I do not think you will.
A 1,000 watt GENRAC portable generator (True 1,kw) can power a PDI 9180 with a single pair of dead GC-2's. I know. I killed them and restored them to charge.
I would say 150 amps is possible with a Honda 2000, (Not a true 2kw generator)
But I do not think you will find a converter that big.
I'd say that generator is very conservatively spec'd, kudos to them. It' actually cranking out about 1600VA with the 9180 hooked up and full output.
With most honda 2000's It's very hard to get them to hold 2000VA for more than a few seconds in most cases, 1800VA for more than a few minutes.
