I was having an issue with a breaker popping while using the chargeverter. In the investigation process I discovered that to put 5.1kW into the batter bank using the chargeverter I was pulling 6.8kW from the generator. I was a little surprised that the efficiency was that low. That is like a space heater running! Definitely going to make an impact on fuel economy. Today I will charge using the Magnum inverters and see what their efficiency is, to be honest I have never checked and now I am curious.
Anyway, just thought I would mention it because when calculating how much power to put in the battery VS generator capacity it makes a difference.
