Napa 85-5000 battery charger manual
Does anyone know where I can get a manual for a Napa 85-5000 battery charger? My dad is using one of these chargers to charge 8 GC2 batteries in his offgrid cabin. It's not an RV, but the setup is...

I lost track of whether that inverter is a 24 or 12v inverter. You have to pick what voltage you want to operate in. Seems like it must be a 24. You might find it is worth getting a 300w 12v MSW (under
$50) for TV/dvd etc. and switch to 12v battery bank.
Your usage and draws are like any RVer weekender type with a 12v system and no big draws like air conditioning, microwave, toaster, kettle, in that you can do those while on gen whenever you feel like it- no worries about campground rules for gen times.
For info, I have a 12v bank of batts about 490AH and a 100a charger that takes 2 3/4 hrs to do a "50-90." I would need more amps to get that to a two hour gen time limit.
But now how do you get from 90-100%? Nobody can run their gens that long, so now you need shore power or solar. Yes you could get back to 100% with a 100w 12v panel and a simple 8.5-10a PWM controller between visits to the cabin (assuming some sunshine happens then. If not,more gen time when you get there.
