Honda 1000 will it charge my batts
I have a WFCO converter that charges at 50amps. Will the 1000 Honda do this? There will be no other real load on it. Fridge on propane. Led lighting etc. will it be running at max capacity and be l...

Depending on your battery size, you probably can not charge the battery at more than 40 amps for more than a few minutes.
You don't say the SOC of the bank when starting the 40a charge.
You're right about that - I've never been below 60% and am almost always > 80% (will probably change once it starts getting cold).
Is that all test data on your graph, or is that curve a published curve? Very helpful.
Actuals using 35a Vector portable chargers (two for the 70, 35 +20 for the 55)
these are programmed to trip at 14v so the amps taper but the voltage keeps rising to 14.6v with that 14v trip point, the SOC will be a little lower than with a charger you set to reach 14.6 and then it holds, but not much different.
Here is a comparison of the Vector profile with a PowerMax modified set to reach and stay at 14.6 to see the difference in outcome. Vector trips at 68% vs 72% but still gets there.
