Max Charging Amps with Honda 3000i Gen
I have reported in the past that I can get about 156 amps to the battery bank using the Honda 3000 where one 100a PF-corrected PowerMax is in parallel with a non-PF corrected 55a PowerMax (both adjust...

Hi MEX,
I do "shoot" my batteries, but in fact the testing done was at about -10 C, so I doubt over heating would be an issue. The banks in question are "surplus acid" AGM telecom jars. Maximum charging rate is 27 amps each x 4 = 108 amps.
Maximum safe temperature is?
I had deliberately put them under a 442 watt heater load for three hours. I can't remember if I was running the fridge on 120 volt power.
It is where I learned to limit the input amperage to the Magnum so as to not charge faster than is recommended. I wish the Magnum had two settings--one for input amps and another for limiting output amps on the charger, but that does not seem to exist.
Before I learned to do the setting--I placed an extra load on the generator so as to limit the charging amps.
