generator to use with Trace DR2424 [RE-wrenches]

Windy my friend, how the heck are ya?

I've had good luck with the Coleman Black Max generator.
It's a 6500 watt gasoline generator that runs the DR chargers pretty well.
I use one here on my DR3624 and with the gen output running through a 
T240 transformer for stepdown,
I can squeeze about 78 amps out of the DR 70 amp charger.

Cost is about $899 at Sams Club.

Hope all is well in retirement land Windy!
