As much as there is a love for anything Honda, there is a hate for anything WFCO on these forums. I have used both for the last fourteen years. I have not boiled a battery or lost one for any other reason. The batteries are always up to a night or two between campgrounds with hookups. I guess that I am somewhere in the middle. I like my Honda generator but would spend my money somewhere else next time. I don't care one way or the other about my WFCO converter but will replace it with something "Better" if it ever fails.
