Dear Solar Experts;
I have a 32 year old Generac NP52 (5200 watt) propane powered generator in my 32 year old Isuzu powered Safari Trek. I suspect that I no longer need such a large generator and would like to replace it with a small propane powered inverter generator.
The specs on the 12 volt Victron Compact Multiplus call for an input voltage of 9.5v to 17v.
Is there any reason why a Champion dual fuel model #100899 2500watt inverter generator would not supply that Victron inverter charger the amount of power that it needs to charge the battery bank? The propane starting amps rating is 20.8 amps and the propane running amps rating is 13.9 amps.
thoughts?
Thank you.

I ripped out all of the original equipment electronics and replaced with the following:
Victron 2000w Mulitplus Compact
Victron 18v dc to dc charger (I've never seen 18v but reliably get 13v when on the freeway)
Victron MMPT 150/85
Victron Shunt
Victron Cerbo GX
Victron GX Touch Screen
Renogy 100w panels. eight (8) quantity. NOT YET INSTALLED.
100ah Lithium batteries. four (4) quantity. LiTime brand.
