Charging the batts__Less noise to get the job done.
Without solar; Lots of 1000i/2000i inverters on the market. If I am correct, they output about 400w on econo (low noise). How much 12v charging can be accomplished with just 400w ?

Hi,
Another solution is a 2k generator mated with a Magnum 3k hybrid inverter. The inverter will draw from the battery bank for start up surges.
For battery charging the solar solution works extremely well. Many folks have abandoned using generators if they are weekend warriors.

This thread should be read by onyone wanting info' on which way to go needing to charge the batts. My thought of the smaller 1000i gen beng the most ideal, is shot dead. Now, I see more clearly. The 1000i is not the best choice. ~ Then, there is the 2000i, it's not such a wise choice either. To small to operate most Microwaves and the A/C. So, BLF13 seems to have gotton it RIGHT. Go with the brand and size that will more or less do it all and be finished.
So, Solar is needed with a good batt bank, then the gen also must be the most quiet.
Side note: looking into WIND energy also. Let's go all the way as silent as possible.
