Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
So we just purchased two new Interstate 6 volt golf cart batteries. They are wired together for 12 volts. We are doing more and more boondocking and would like extend our stays.
We are thinking of getting a Honda 2000 generator to help in that. My question is what type of charger is recommended so that we get as quick a charge as possible without damage to the batteries and not having to leave the generator running for hours on end.
Thanks!

If you have a Magnum Inverter/Charger installed, it is primarily a matter of properly programming the setting into the Magnum (e.g., battery type and other related settings). Be aware that a generator will do a good job of charging the batteries up to approximately an 80% charge level … afterwards (when the batteries go into absorption and float mode) it takes a lot longer to incrementally increase the charge level (i.e., that is when solar works well, something to consider adding or adding more of, if you continue to enjoy boondocking).
