All my equip is listed in my signature, but my manuals are 6+ hrs away. How do I use the honda to charge batts, & power home? I have it wired according to drawing/print. It's a ?? of what switches are in what position?

    No it's a question of programming the Magnum inverter-charger to not exceed the output capacity of the generator and yet still supply enough current to charge the batteries (which aren't specified in your signature).

    BTW you can look up the manuals on-line, which makes things easy:

    Thanks for the link, was able to get it charging within 30 minutes. Had to reduce charging to 30% for the Honda not to overload. 8-6V GC2 batts.
