Just a small thought experiment here - what is a better way (more efficient and/or I suppose a faster way) to charge the house batteries when not connected to the grid - Onan generator or 455 main engine?
Onan generator is 6,000W. It feeds power into 110 house system, which is then connected to batteries through InteliPower battery charger/maintainer.
Main engine is 455 with what I believe a standard no frills alternator setup. Is there a way to poke the head into the engine compartment and figure out how many Amps the alternator is rated for?
