I have a follow-on question:
What will happen if I hook a Honda EU1000 to a Heart 2000 charger, which
would
like to charge at 100 Amps? Will it settle at some compromise charge
rate, or
will it roll over and die?


If you connect a 1200 watt load to a 1000 watt source I would expect that it
would pop a circuit breaker or something.

I have a Heart 2000 inverter with the remote panel. The Heart inverter has
a "load sharing" feature which will automatically cut back the battery
charge rate when the "pass through" current exceeds the set point. With the
remote panel I can set the current limit to 20, 15, 10 or 5 amps. If you
set it to 5 amps then the battery charger would never draw more than 5 amps
from the generator.
