We have a brand-new Kodak OG 5.48 5kW inverter but can't get it to take any charge at all from our 6.5kW generator. According to Kodak we need a minimum 7.5kW gennie to charge. They say the generator has to be 50% 'bigger' than the inverter. This seems to apply only to Kodak inverters since we have experience with Victron, Microcare and Sunsynk, all of which will charge from a smaller generator.
Does anybody have any comments/advice?
We had a technician visit yesterday and he told us that we might need to switch the inverter from BATTERY MODE to LINE MODE to make it take a charge, but couldn't work out how it's done.
Any ideas?
