Series 12v Chargers ?
Bestconverter ad says, "The PD9100L Series can be wired in parallel to charge at much higher current rates. They can also be wired in series/parallel to charge 36, 48, 60, 72 and higher voltage bat...

No, this is with the battery bank as 12v. The 55 and the 75 run perfectly from the Honda 3000 individually, but add one to the other and it pops the Honda's overload, but the engine keeps running. Then you have to shut down the generator's engine and start over as how to reset it.
Something is not right. Those two chargers by themselves are no where near the gen capability.
So bad gen, connection problem, bad charger, other loads, cockpit problem or something else???
Not understood. The gen is rated for 2800VA continuous. The 55 pulls 1383VA by itself and the 75 pulls 1693VA by itself. Together that would be 3076VA, which is above the Honda's rating. (actual Kill-A-Watt measurements)
It is more surprising IMO that the gen can run the 55 (1383VA) and the 100 (1910VA) together no problem (3293VA)
PT suspects the PF correction of the 100 is the reason, but that doesn't change the VA figures above.
I have tried it several times with different choices of receptacles on the gen but it still does it.
