Generators and rv batteries
On occasion we boon dock for up to 4 days at a time. We have a 2000k Honda generator.
Last month in New Mexico at 6,500' elevation it was chilly and we ran the furnace. Batteries really started going down. Sos the next morning I plugged in the shore-power line to the Honda and let it run for about 3 hours. That night after running the furnace for a short while, the batteries charge seemed to be about where they were before I Charged them up that morning.
I have heard that charging with a generator via shore power/inveter, etc. does not do a great job. Would it be better to hook up generator directly to battery and by pass the shore power line? The Honda will put out about 8 amps.
Anybody have any ideas or comments???
Thanks,
Phil
