Recharging house batteries

When leaving a campground with partially drawn down house batteries, the engines alternator will slowly recharge them.

Can I charge those batteries faster by starting the in house generator at the same time charging from two sources?

  • You may want to check your converter to see what kind of output it is. It may even pay to replace with a higher output.
    Genset through the converter will give more charge combined with alternator.
