I have been carrying a Honda 2000W generator, running it occasionally to top up my batteries when on the hook for extended periods of time. I haven't needed it for the past couple of years, so I loaned it out, but hate to not have some backup available given the remote areas I operate in.
So the question is, running a 20A charger, how many watts of generated power are required? There is a guy selling a Honda 800 for $200, and I am wanting to be sure that's enough power to max out my battery charging system. The 2000 charges my system on low idle, so I am thinking it doesn't require much power. I am not finding input wattage consumption on the data sheets for any of the chargers.
Having the ability to power up my systems and get home if I lose my single 100A alternator is something I am reluctant to give up...
