Onboard Charger vs. Smart Charger
So I have the standard WFCO 8900 series charge/converter (I believe it's the 45 amp model). However, I have a "smart" charger that I prefer to use. It just seems to do a better job charging and mainta...

However if you use that charger at low amperage it may take an extended period to reach that voltage. Or you can put the portable up to the 30 amp level for faster charging however that will also load down the generator.
The WFCO shuts down 100% when it senses another charging voltage source. A parallel charger does not damage the WFCO it merely shuts it down. Same for switched power supplies like the Megawatt and Meanwell.
I think the idea is to get the air started and then switch the battery charging on.
