How to use generator to charge battery efficiently?

[Hircarra]

Which is exactly what I stated way up in post number 10 of this thread.

But you are confusing the 20a rating on the outlet at 120v AC with the battery charger amp rating at 12v DC. 

A 20 amp, 12v battery charger wont be pulling 20 amps from the outlet. As I said earlier, maybe around 2-3 amps up to maybe 5 or so when the battery is really low.

Reading comprehension. Practice it.

How many amps are pulled is irrelevant to how many amps can be produced, if the charger does in fact produce more amps than it consumes, which you didn't mention until just recently. An inability to gauge accurately whether a question has been sufficiently answered doesn't entail I lack reading comprehension.

I think this is CT61 messing with us.

Actually I did, in post number 3.

In fact everyone who has contributed here has been spot on with their answers, but once the conversation went in circles, it became obvious you wanted to argue, rather than solve the so called 'problem'.

You still haven't responded to posts 10 and 38 as far as real life use and therefore everything here is just a theoretical argument and even cable runs will make a difference in system efficiency. This forum is intended to furnish real life solutions to real life problems. There are plenty of sources for basic electrical theory. If you are not able to respond to reasonable requests I would request this thread be closed. It is 7 pages of wasted time and needs to go no further.
