One of the things you can do if you really must get every last amp out of your charger / Honda combo is to look into your power factor. Most small generators have a problem working into large reactive loads such as certain chargers, like the older ferro-resonant varieties. You can correct the PF nicely by buying a 'motor run' capacitor...(maybe it's the 'motor start' cap) anyway, a 50 mfd 200v or so, and plug it into the unused part of the 120v receptacle. Xantrex suggests this.
