Brezzin...you're getting AC/DC mixed up I think. The Honda 1000 operating specs are:
AC Output 120V
1000W max.(8.3A)
900W rated (7.5A)

900Watts= 120V x 7.5 AC
900Watts= 12V x 75 DC

The A/C output of the alternator used to drive the battery charger on board will yield a 75amp DC current (with some loss due to conversion efficiency). Remember the 10 x rule....multiply AC amps times 10 to get DC amps. (US ONLY!!)
