    Hi Bob,

    In my situation, everything is electric and I have one fuel (diesel, 2,400
    gals of it)...and, frankly, I like it that way. So the genny runs various
    times during the day for cooking on the 240v stove/oven...which, at the same
    time, charges all battery banks (12, 24 and 32...don't ask) and makes more
    hot water. I usually only run the genny until the inverter's charger drops
    out of bulk charge, but that is always longer than I need to run the genny
    for anything else.

    So, the refinement I would like to implement is a faster charge, since my
    new AGMs can take it. Not sure how best to do that....
