Bulk-Absorption Charging Voltage
2 Concord 8D (258 AH each) Freedom 25 Inverter-Charger (130 amp) Trimetric 2025 Gauge I'm dry camping and charging my batteries. They were 30% discharged. My Concords call for 14.2-14.4v absorpti...

Even if you got 120Vrms but don't have a pure sine wave (like Onan Microquiet gen
A bit off the OP's topic, but I don't understand ... how can a rotating shaft generator like the Onan not have a perfect sine wave shape buried inside it's AC output voltage curve?
Noise superimposed on it's sine wave I can understand, less than a perfect sine wave underlying everything I have a problem with. Why wouldn't an oscilloscope on an Onan's output merely show a noisy sine wave shape?
The question is ... what does a converter/charger do with a noisy sine wave as opposed to the less noisy sine wave made up of a whole bunch of steps like what comes from an inverter generator?
BTW, I don't think that PD converter/chargers are power factor corrected.
Take a look at the waveform of the Alton AT04141/120 generator (scroll down) in this link.
