You realize that most portable generators will not power common run-of-the-mill battery chargers? Doesn't seem to be "common knowledge" except with people who routinely have to deal with battery chargers and gensets. Like with off-grid solar-electric users.

I'm not up to snuff with all Honda genset models, but isn't the 2000 EU an AC rig and not a DC inverter rig? I know the Honda EU2000IA is a DC set.
Main problem is the standard battery chargers get power at 160-170 volts when hooked to AC power. AC grid power IS 170 volts. Portable gensets are usually only 150 volts and thus the problem.
