<p class="MsoNormal">Are these made in Mexico units? We have had a few issues with quality control since the relocation, not specific issue you have, but charger-related.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are two settings \u2013 Under the Shore menu make sure Amps are set properly, and then there is the battery charge rate in the setup menu. That inverter should give a 63A charge @ 48VDC, and generally doesn\u2019t really care about power quality
even with very cheap generators the charge rate is good. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have noticed on several Magnum Installations that the charge rate is low compared to the inverter rated output. Typically I would assume the charge rate should be up to about 70 to 80 % of the inverter capacity, but I am getting only
about 1400 watts (26 amps DC) from it with a 14kw generator. Is there some setting I am missing that would limit it other than the charge %. I know of one system where they added a 2nd Magnum inverter and then had problems with them working together consistently.
I have used the 8 kilowatt Radians for any off grid with significant loads and battery capacity and easily get 6000 charging watts from a large generator. I also needed remote control of the generator (Generac EcoGen 15 kw so a quick inexpensive but clunky
solution I came up with was to add an old (2003 vintage) used MX-60 to the system purely to use the Aux relay with a used HUB and old but good Mate3. Works perfectly giving us AGS start and stop voltage settings and basic battery voltage graph. I would be
interested in other ways to remote control generators with non Outback inverters. FlexNet DC?<o:p></o:p></p>
