Buy a Megawatt 36'amp power supply for 65 dollars search eBay. Set it for 14.8 volts. Far and away faster than any other way.
Or buy it straight from John Marle by doing a search for "megawatt" on Google. He also makes a 30 amp version for a few bucks less, probably a better fit with that Honda EU1000i if you are charging at over 4 or 5000 feet in elevation. I have the 30 amp version and it runs the Eu1000i really hard when the motor is making less HP at higher elevations and with ethanol being 10% in your gasoline these days. That's a double whammy on power output from the generator.
Megawatt for sale, direct 30 and 36 amp models at bottom of page
I was one of the first to buy one of the 30 amp models here on RVnet/woodall's to run on an Eu1000i. Mexicowanderer is correct, nothing I've seen works faster. When it drops to a 10 to 12 amp rate of charge with this, it's gas saving, off with the generator time and let the solar panel top charge the slow part, the rest, again at 14.8V then floatV charge at 13.8V
