What size battery charger??

Mr. Fixit · 18-01-2007, 09:33

My house bank will be composed of 4 Deka golf cart batteries. I have a Honda 2000 watt gas generator I will use on the hook to charge batteries if necessary. My question is, although I can research output of different chargers I am having a problem finding out the requirements for input (amps) I would like to stay in the 15 amp range. How can I determine what size charger the Honda will handle? I would like to use a charger that has as much output amps that the Honda can handle without a undue strain. Am I missing something here--4 golf carts wired to produce 12 volts. I have never done any low voltage before and If I can get this answer I can complete my rewire project.
