Finally breaking down and buying a Honda 2000 watt generator for my TT. Do you guys charge your batteries by using the 12 DC outlet and connecting directly to your battery with the alligator clips or do you charge by connecting your power cord to the AC outlet and letting the TT converter do the charging?
Is one way better (faster, safer, etc.) than the other?
It's a converter, not an inverter first off and the best way to charge batteries is via a shore power cord plugged into your genny.
You might want to take a look at the Harbor Freight 2000 watt Honda clone inverter. It's less than 1/3rd the price of the Honda, has a longer run time and same output and economy (reduced idle) switch.... and it weighs less too.
