I think the Honda 2200 will run the 75 amp PowerMax, which pulls about 1700. My B&S P2200 has 1700 and runs my 75amper right on the edge of overloading it, so the Honda with 1800 should be a little happier (at sea level anyway).
The adjustable converter has two holes in the side you need to get at, (flashlight and small screwdriver needed :) ) so it is a lot easier to make adjustments if it is not secured back in a compartment facing where you can't get at the holes or reach it. IMO make it a portable.
Here is how to operate the thing. It is easier than it sounds. Put your voltmeter in the terminals while doing the adjustments, then put the jumper cables back in and clamp on. (or clamp to voltmeter)

Here is a handy table of voltage adjustments for temps Mark gave us (scroll down to his post) Suggest print it.

I carry a flashlight and Leatherman all the time, so I've probably got that. I noted it was a screwdriver adjustment. My guess is it's a trimmer pot inside. There's a fair chance I'd just open that up, remove the trimmer pot and put it on an externally wired pot with a nice sized knob. Combine that with the disconnect switches and a panel mounted volt/amp meter and you've got a nice charging setup. I like projects if you can't tell...
Nice list of temps. I was thinking I'd have one printed near the charger.
