So with a Honda 2000, you are good to go with a PF corrected 75 or any 60 amper or less. What you do with that 75 amper I linked to above, is make it a portable with wires and clamps like here--make sure the wires are at least #6 copper ( or fatter cu-al) to run the 75 amps.

With mine (the 100 amp version for four 6s) I cut the end off a set of #2 cu-al jumper cables (which have those big 600a parrot clamps on them) and stuck the cut ends in the terminals (all the strands won't fit, so you have to get as many strands in as will fit and tape off the rest or cut them off, so they won't short on the next door terminal's wire.
I used the chassis ground lug as a strong point for holding the heavy cables from pulling out of the terminal set-screws, as shown.
I want mine exactly like yours except I would get rid of the parrot clamps and hardwire it to my batteries instead and hopefully it would start charging whenever I fired up the Honda without me even having to touch the battery charger.
I have my Schumacher hardwired and when I fire up the Honda it wont start charging unless I go program the battery size selector button . This is a problem because many times I start the generator to run power tools and I may lay a tool down to do some measurements and 15 minutes go by and then I look and realize the Hondas just running and wasting gas , I then run in and program the battery charger on , if it started charging automatically from the get go I think I'd be better off.
