So far... This is the most fuel efficient generator I've tested for recharging a large battery bank. I've been using this generator through the winter for my off grid home. Usually the battery bank is recharged with solar. However, sometimes in winter the sun doesn't shine and I have to fire up a generator.
This generator used to be a light tower. The 3 cylinder diesel engine is branded Kohler and is very efficient. The light tower was originally wired as 120V only. I re-wired it to 240V which is more efficient for the charger I'm using.
The Chargeverter is a 100 Amp charger from EG4. It can accept 120V or 240V and re-charge a 48V lithium battery bank. This is my third video in testing this generator.
