We have a Heart 2000 watt inverter charger that we use as our primary charger and the inverter to keep ac frig going. Here is my dilemma ....on ac power 30 amp the charger in the bulk mode puts out 100+ amps allowing the battery bank to get to 14.4 volts. When on the generator, Westerbeke 5000 watt, 42 amps...the max current output of the charger is right around 50 amps allowing the battery bank to get to 13.3 v. Another tidbit if I load the generator, put hot water heater on I get a few additional amps. My question is why cannot I get the full output on the generator?. Any insight would be helpful...
Thanks Wally
