Charging 2 Interstate Batteries through 45 amp converter

Does anyone here have any experience charging their batteries with a Honda EX 1000 (non inverter) generator? I'd like to try it while dry camping for a week at the Sun & Fun fly in next month in Lake...

Hi,

We need to know the make and model of the converter for a meaningful answer. For example a Progressive Dynamics 45 amp draws 725 watts--but has a power factor of 0.7 which means that running it flat out is about all the Honda (which really does 900 watts) can manage.

A Honda 2000 (which really does 1600 watts) could run the converter, and the fridge at the same time. It could also power the microwave, or other fairly high current devices.
