"If the Magnum Inverter spec says: Input current at rated Output is 18 Amps"
You appear to be confusing AC with DC values. Rated output is 125 amps DC, ISTR, while input at 125 volts AC might be 18a for 2250VA
The Honda spec is in VA not watts. That is why you must know if the charger is PF corrected or not. A PF corrected charger can be run with a lower VA amount to get the same DC amps output, or looking at it the other way, you can run a higher amp charger with the Honda if the charger is PF corrected.
