[QUOTE="Powerguy, post: 542678, member: 35663"] Hi all I have a 5kw diesel generator that I’m hoping to link to my solar battery array to charge up in winter . My battery pack is 775ah 48 2v forklift batteries . Now maybe I have to change the generator ignition to a auto start type . But noticed the generator says 20.8amps , does this mean that having it run for 5 hours would put 100 amp into the battery or do I have my sums wrong . Is it worth while using a generator..? The inverter I’m getting installed is a 8.8kw sunsykn and I noticed it has a gen port . I thought the generator would be closer a 100 amp hour input , anyone clear this up please [/QUOTE]
