inverter generator match [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi Windy,

I would hardly call battery charging wasting energy, and if it greatly improves
the performance of the inverter, then that too is hardly a waste.  Or maybe I
didn't understand your question?

And no I don't have hard data with using different types of battery chargers,
but my guess is that it doesn't matter.
