I never use that small cable thingy, they mostly junk. I just plug my into my gen with the umbilical cord,shore power. I don't charge my starting battery that way but I do use it to charge the other three battery's. If you run your genset and plug into the shore power cord you can run what ever 110 volt stuff you have, within reason.
This is for only charging the TC battery's correct. If you have an A/C you will probably have to run it only on low setting, and cut out some 110v Equipment, or not start the A/C at all. Just want to make sure for my own information.
Thanks,

The genset will charge your battery's at the same time that you run your a/c but at a lower rate. For the most part if you run the a/c that is all your going to be able to run, assuming you just have a 2KW gen. If your gen has an econo mode it will automatically go to a higher rate. The other thing is at what altitude you are at. The higher the less out put.
