I live off grid, I use a 7000/8500 generator as a backup rated at 30 amps output, will the charger overload genset or adjust to 30 amp?

I researched before buying the charger. I believe it will adjust, though Ive never tested it

You sure have plenty of power, I assume the generator has a 120 volt 15 amp outlet as you will need an extension cord to plug into the transfer switch

Yew, it will work okay with an 8500 watt generator. It has to be shut off manually but there is no danger of overloading.

Yes, use the charge controller and configure according to the directions that come with it. I got the 30 amp one.

I 've got a 6500 wt. generator and this works fine. That's what is recomended for your generator.

Really should have hit the "I don't know" button. I would assume that functionality would be dependent on what other demands are made on the generator at the same time. Asking a Generac engineer might be a better course of action. You may encounter situations similar to folks who vacation in RVs deal with where you need to turn off certain things to allow for running others. Hope I've helped

The Unit requires 15 amp electrical service. I suggest you contact the manufacturer giving them how you intend to supply the power needed to operate the unit. Whether your onboard generator has enough power output to satisfy--I don't know.When parked at a KOA or other parks that supply 110 power it should operate OK.

Its a 30amp rated cord so it will be plugged into your 30amp recept on generator.. all good :)

I have run this off of a large diesel generator (tow behind rental). Worked just fine. Might draw too many amps for a small generator.

It is not recommended by the manufacturer to use any breaker larger than a 30 amp double pole. I don"t operate my stove on the back up generator. With this transfer switch and a 8500 watt portable generator I can run most everything else, not all at the same time though. That includes the AC.

Yes of course, that is exactly what the 12v output is for. However, it is only 4 amps so it would take a while. Also, it has no smart limit or anything so it will be able to overcharge the battery bank.I would recommend using a standard 120v AC charger plugged into the normal AC outlet of the generator. It will charge faster and safer.That said, the answer is yes.

Yes, it can be. 100 amp for city power and 60amp for back up.What I have used it for at my cabin, is for two different generators for my service. I don't always need 10k feeding the cabin. Most of the time I only need 3k

No it does not. You likely have a 100 or 200 amp electric service and the generator has an output of about 30 amps. It should be able to handle your essential circuits though using an 8-10 circuit transfer panel

Don't know the amps but I have used it with my Honda EU2000i generator with no problem. Might pull up The Poulan website.

I can't give any specific advice on this charger, however, I wii say that you would be better off with a different kind of charger. I purchased, the second charger, from Amazon and it is a "Battery Tender Jr." . It costs about double but you will make that difference back in extended battery life as well as in being certain that your battery will always be ready to start your generator. The one I recommend is left plugged in to your machine and it keeps your battery in top shape without the damage that occurs by leaving a normal trickle charger plugged all the time. The unit comes with a plug that you connect to your battery and has a quick disconnect that you should use when starting ang operating the machine. Watch the polarity. Good luck.

Your generator will only put out 41 amps at full load no matter how many 30amp receptacles you have. The more items you use in your RV at the same time the more amps you will use, up to 41 amps max.

Nothing. You should be able to hook that stuff up directly to the power outlets of the generator.
