I believe the 1.87KWH to replace 1KWH is the net result of all of the efficiencies/losses. So yes, the 84% is applied. I don't see how any of the thermal antics of the charger had any material effect on the 1.87KAW except to extend the time.
Neither the inverter/charger nor the MM-RC remote have any meters. All of the Watts I posted were exclusively from the KAW. All sources and loads passed through the KAW. Perhaps I don't understand what you mean.
Can someone explain how an AH meter at the battery can be accurate without considering battery temperature?

I am confused about the "replace" part. I can see it takes about 900w of AC to "make" 50 amps of DC and over time it would take so many KWH to make so many AH.
Usually we talk about "replacing" after the DC amps are "made" and used through a battery in AH. In that case, you run the battery down by say 100AH and then "replace" that, which takes maybe 110AH.
No way does it take 1.87 to "replace" 1.0 in the battery.
I can see how the watt meter would measure the amount of 120v from gen or shore power to run the charger during a recharge. How do you use it to measure what is drawn from the battery?
