high rate charging on generator
Hi all, The batteries: 556 amp-hours of surplus acid AGM batteries 12 volt jars 105 lbs each. They are wired as two banks with balanced wiring. The depth of discharge: 12.1 volts under 425...

If you can change the output voltage, you can change the charge output amps.
But you might have to keep twiddling voltage upwards to keep it close to the 125 max output.
I wonder if this is something that could be attenuated with more ventilation.
The temp of my meanwell at 40 amps is quite high after 45 minutes at full output, but once amps start tapering, at about 35 amps the heat produced drops drastically.
Add more computer fans, add more heatsinks, if possible.
BFL13, 156 amps........ That's freaking awesome.
156 on four is the same as 78 on two which is no big deal (as seen on my ugly graph somewhere here for 70,55, and 35 on two) PT has more AH in his bank than I do so he can go well above 156 and be ok.
I totally lost track of what PT's problem is from the OP to here. It's not the gen, now it's not the inverter, which leaves--him!!! :)
