Charger selection help please
I'm thinking about buying a Noco Genius G26000 26a smart charger for when the sun isn't getting my batteries charged. I have a FR Stealth Toyhauler with two Interstate GC2 208ah batteries. They do...

"To do this you will need a power factor corrected charging device. The Magnum 3012 inverter/charger can do up to 125 amps of charging on a 15 amp shore power supply. For a 2000 watt Yamaha that would have to be "dialed down" on the Magnum ARC remote from 15 to 13 amps and that would limit charging to about 109 amps"
I do not understand how all that can possibly work. My PF corrected 100 amper draws 1910VA by Kill-A-Watt when output is 100 amps at 14.x volts.
So howinheck can you run a PF corrected 125 amper from a "15a" circuit? The 100 amper was drawing 15.57 amps. (The VA was with 122.7v/15.57a) A PF corrected 125a is going to need a 20a circuit would think. ????
The 75 amper Kill-A-Watt figures are:
123.8v, 13.64a, 1693VA, 1241w, PF 0.73
So I can see there that if you dial down the Magnum which is still then PF corrected, you could do more amps output than 75 with a draw of 13a, but I don't know about 109a--seems like a lot.
