Battery Charging Rate Question:
If the Magnum Inverter spec says: Input current at rated Output is 18 Amps.
(Does this mean it can only push out or charge the battery at a maximum of 18 Amps (assuming the power source is also at least 18 Amps)? Is an 18 Amp Input, operating for one hour roughly equivalent to adding 18 Amp hours to the battery charge?
Generator Honda EU2000i Generator spec is: AC output rated 1600 Watts 13.3A (max 2000 Watts 16.6A)
Are those the specs, listed above that I need to figure out the charging rate?
Does the 13.3 AC output of the generator mean it will roughly add 13.3 Amp Hours to the battery if the generator runs for one hour.
In this setup, will the generator be the limiting factor, only able to put out 13.3 Amps continuously.
If the Inverter spec: Input Current at rated output = 18 Amps is the incorrect spec for the calculations I am looking for, the spec sheet can be found at the link below. If any one knows the correct spec and can find it on this sheet, please pass on that info.
