Magnum energy hybrid VS Victron
In the market for a new inverter/charger. Seems the best two options are the Victron 3000W Multiplus or the Magnum Energy MSH3012M. Seems the Victron has a couple of bells that the Magnum doesn't...

Hbski, a 2000W Honda gen will not support a 100A charger even if PF corrected (if not PF corrected it most definitely will not). Not even just barely. If it could, I would own one too. BFL's advice is not BS. The Honda outputs 13A continuous. That's not enough. You'll have to fire up the Onan for the high amp charging stuff (assuming the Onan is enough).
But as I understand it the charger has variable output, thus it could operate on less than the full input A/C input and charge at a reduced level as well
I see nothing in the manual indicating that the charge will draw the max amperage all the time. in fact things are worded in several places indicating that the 125A is the maximum.
PIANOTUNA, can you verify that AC input current limit indeed charges the batts at a reduced amperage?
Theoretically, I should be able to set the input limit to 13A and then have the batts charging around 90A. Not opposed to an 18A capable generator either, so may look into that as well.
