PD or Iota for my upgrade?

A WFCO 8955 was not good last summer, even with a Group 24 DC at 75 AH. Might be fine at a site with hookups and a 30 amppower panel, but I'm using mine for Boondocking with a Generator, and now solar panel. Battery got below 50% by accident, probably closer to 30%, and that WFCO sat at 13.6 volts, even thought the little honda Eu1000i was grunting a bit. You just can't shove big amps into a little battery like that 75 Ah job. 10% is 7.5 amps. Running the genny 3 hours in the morning and another 2 or 3 at night to try and catch up sucked. Better to have the passive solar panel doing it's thing without being intrusive.

You're good. No reason to change unless you want to reduce gen time. I can't say how much you can shorten your charge ti me without you taking measurements of your system. You may shorten gen time by 10 min. Go solar and forget the gen.

Actually, I like my 55A Iota along with solar. The Iota will supply a solid 55A into my 2 6V's as long as the converter voltage is less than 14.7V. There's no current tapering. If it's rainy for a few days then I know the gen will run a minimum amount of time.

But I'm good with a PD 9245C, a pendant, a Honda EU2000I with pure sine waves, 2 GC-2 batteries at 225Ah, and a short run of 3 or 4 feet of 6 gauge copper wire to handle the 45 amps to the battery, correct?
