<DIV>Drake,</DIV>
<DIV> I have had great luck just using an Iota battery charger with
the Honda Generators. Just pick a charger with an amp rating suitable for
the continuous output rating of the generator. My standard grid time with
backup system uses the Honda 2000i with an Iota charger. The nice thing
about a separate battery charger is that no house loads hit the generator.
Solves the problem of needing a large generator to handle a well pump. Also
there are no settings for the homeowner to mess up. It may be a slow
charge rate for a large battery bank but any equalizing or quick charges are
handled by the grid tie inverter and the grid or the MX60 or whatever and a
decent sized solar array.</DIV>
