The OP is on the right track, but does not need to do anything with his OEM converter. Just use the new deck mount converter as a portable charger powered from the generator as required off grid for a fast recharge "50-90"
Make sure the gen has enough VA to run the charger. A 2000w inverter gen is about maxed out with about a 70a non-PF corrected charger. The PD 80 amper is non-PF corrected. Some say they have run an 80 amp PD with a Honda 2000. I don't know how!
I have a 3000w Honda to run my PF corrected 100 amper. I doubt a 2000w could run it at all.
Use the OEM converter when plugged in on shore power, same as always.
There are other choices besides a PD, but whatever floats your boat. I use an adjustable PowerMax on the batts in the front of the 5er when off grid.
Now I feel I am getting close...Thanks
So if I leave OEM Charger / Converter in place and on shore power...don't I need to disconnect the wires from the old single battery that I am replacing with the new bank of 4 6v batts? And that same bank has the new (Progressive Dynamics (PD9270V) 70 Amp Power Converter with Charge Wizard) attached to them also? Just wondering if there is a voltage feedback, or other issues having both connected? We are doing many weeks of Boondocking and dry camping this spring and summer - and forever, so we want to be able to get the batts charge up, when needed, quick.
I have a 3500 peak, 3100 running Champion Duel Fuel Gen. So that should get us up and going, AC too if needed.
