I have a 6.5kw 120v 50a generator I would like to use with my 12000XP. I don't thing chargverters can be paralleled thus only 2500w output, so my question is there anyway to use the generator or grid input on the 12000XP to charge the batteries off the 120v generator?
I have not had good luck charging directly with any "smallish/cheaper" generators even if they are 120/240. The EG4 inverters seem to be fairly picky and require a very clean sine wave and stable voltage. This means you might as well use a cheap generator and a chargeverter, or any similar 120vAC->48vDC charger direct to battery to get enough charge to get thru the night.
I typically tell off-grid clients to get in the habit of checking battery voltage at dusk before cooking dinner.... and if SOC% is <50%, then fire up the Genny, and run it until bedtime.
