Yea, 800 watts @ 12.5volts should be more like 65 amps Don't forget that actual charging voltage is more like 14.2 volts which equates to 568 watts with no adjustment for losses or power factor. Assuming 90% efficiency and 90% power factor (inductive load), you would need something like 700+ watts from your generator. |
