Hi Wrenches,
If I may, I'd like to forward this from a Wrench formerly on the list, now semi-retired:
"I know this subject has been discussed, but I couldn't find the archive. I'd like to know pros and cons of using the Outback FM 60 or FM 80 as a charger - using a 7000 watt (6000 prime) generator as the power source. If I use a 6000w step down transformer, can I get all 6000 watts (3000 watts per leg) into one rectifier? If not, I guess I will need two FM 60 or FM 80's ( one for each leg of the generator). I'm not sure a 6000 watt step down transformer is still available.
"I would like to have a parts list, and a source for the parts. A wiring diagram would also be helpful.
Thanks, Eric"
