high rate charging on generator
Hi all, The batteries: 556 amp-hours of surplus acid AGM batteries 12 volt jars 105 lbs each. They are wired as two banks with balanced wiring. The depth of discharge: 12.1 volts under 425...

Hi Mr Wizard,
No, I used a custom setting because of my "surplus acid" AGM's. I do have the temperature sensor in place, and I'm observing increasing charging voltages.
The Yamaha generator is essentially a 23 amp shore power device with 500 watts of overload capacity for ten seconds.
Even on a 15 amp shore power I would have had the fet overload happen. I had to dial back the input "throttle" to 13 amps to keep the charge rate down.
I believe I'll take your advice and email Magnum to see if they have an answer.
