You may be do this as well, but I frequently deal with homeowners
with inexpensive generators, I find that the Outback and Magnum
inverters are very tolerant but I do generally have to load the
generator up to where I want it bulk charging the batteries, then
adjust the generator speed to dial in the freqency to 60Hz using the
throttle adj. screw.<br>
Do you find the Iota chargers can reach bulk charge voltages, or
even EQ voltages ?<br>

<div>We have run into many problems on very remote sites with
various really nice, small newer inverter/chargers not accepting
waveforms from various newer (inverter-based) generators. For
example on one particular system Honda 1000i works fine, Honda
2000i works fine, Honda 3000i and the charger says "no." Plug a
different Honda 3000i into the the same inverter/charger, works
fine. After sling-loading the Honda there by helicopter.
Arrrrrgh! Inverter makers have been very helpful but the
settings just can't be tweaked that far, RE Wrenches list gurus
have been awesomely helpful, Honda not so helpful but at least
honest.</div>

<div>My service calls by helicopter this year will include an
O-scope. I really want to get to the bottom of the problem. It
plagues us. I like Iota chargers more and more every summer.</div>
