The best thing to do is warm up your Eu1000i generator motor first. Then get a Mega Watt 30 amp Power supply unit, and tie it in directly with 8 gauge wire directly to your batteries. Set the voltage on the power supply unit at 15.0V and run the Mega watt on a timer. Maybe an hour maybe an hour and a half, depends on how many amp hours your battery set is, and how low a charge is still left in it. It will run the little Honda pretty hard at first, make sure it is in regular mode, not eco mode, when you first turn the power supply unit on. 10 or 15 minutes, and you should be able to turn the generator back into "Eco" mode and save some fuel.
