Charging battery with Honda 2000
Will my Honda 2000 charge the battery as fast on eco as it will fill throttle?

Whether an 80 amp charger (converter) can be powered by a Honda 2k (really 1.6 k) VA may be due to power factor.
My PD is small at 35 amps--but the power factor is .7. So it can draw up to about 750 watts.
On the other hand, my inverter charger can do 127 amps on an 1800 watt supply because the power factor is 1. It is also temperature compensated.
I have no troubles running the charger from eco mode--partly because the Yamaha Sieb does have a way to do a 500 watt surge for 7 seconds iirc.
