Hi TWH99,
Once the bank reaches 85% state of charge the acceptance rate is about 12.5 amps per 100 amp-hours of battery bank.
Charging voltage ought to vary with temperature--so on the Magnum series there is a battery temperature sensor. Ideal voltage is just below the gassing voltage.
Eco mode, at least on my Yamaha, does throttle back as charge rate declines.

Thanks Mrwizard for answering the questions related to differences in generator output and charger input and the practical application in the field...good stuff! The puzzle is coming together.
Question: When the Charger transitions from the fast charging rate to the next stage, let's say for example it goes to 1/2 the fast charging rate, will the Generator sense that load reduction and throttle down also to Eco Mode as long as that output is able to satisfy what the charger is asking for?
thanks Tim
