Help with choosing proper converter amperage
I'm finally replacing my failing converter and am looking at the INTELI-POWER 9200 SERIES CONVERTER/CHARGER - 60 AMPS. My question is, my trailer currently has the WFCO 55 amp (yeah, yeah WFCO.....I ...

I like to stay with the 60AMP models as these units can easily be operated with my 2KW Honda Generator to re-charge my battery bank each day in a three hour generator run time using the on-board smart mode 60AMP converter/charger.. The larger DC OUTPUT converter/charger units might not work from the 2KW Generator output.
I like to have enough DC OUTPUT CURRENT AVAILABLE to support each battery in my battery bank general requirement of demanding 17-20AMPS DC Current when first hit with 14.4VDC to be able to go from the 50% to 90% charge state in a three hour generator run time period. My three each battery bank wired in parallel demands around 52-53 AMPS DC Current when first started up being charged with 14.4VDC - My PD9260C 120VAC Input watts spec is 1000WATTS.
My generator revs up pretty good doing this running my PD9260C converter/charger and then tapers back as the charge demand start dropping back as the batteries are taking on their charge.
