Charger selection help please
I'm thinking about buying a Noco Genius G26000 26a smart charger for when the sun isn't getting my batteries charged. I have a FR Stealth Toyhauler with two Interstate GC2 208ah batteries. They do...

On the Magnum, is it possible the input setting only "passes through" that amount, but the power that gets to the internal charger is not restricted by that setting to the same degree?
Its not a restriction in front of the charger, the charger itself backs off.
From the inverter manual:
" 03A AC Input Amps – This setting ensures that the combined current draw from the battery
charger and the AC loads does not exceed the maximum input current that is available from
the incoming AC power. This setting is used to set that maximum input current level.
Whenever the incoming AC is connected and passing through the inverter, the current used to
power the AC loads and charge the batteries is monitored. If this current begins to approach
the AC Input Amps setting, the charger current is automatically reduced. This ensures the AC
loads have all the available current from the incoming AC power when needed.
If using a MSH-M or MSH-RE (Hybrid) inverter, the AC input settings also determine when
the battery current begins to operate in parallel with the incoming AC power to support the
inverter loads (i.e., Load Support). The Load Support feature uses additional power from the
inverter’s battery to run loads greater than what the incoming AC power can run alone, and
prioritizes the power of any external DC source (i.e., solar, wind, etc.,) over the incoming AC
power to run inverter loads."
