Generator Alternator

Thanks Richard for running that test. I had been pondering that exact test since last night. In doing some simple googling of starter amp draw on small displacement engines I was finding 100-200 amps, on the high side. That had me thinking.... what you just posted.

Then when you and Jack asked your questions I had about made up my mind to give it a try.

I did not think about the amp load being distributed across all the cells. (6 by the way) Now that amp load starts getting to the insignificant range per BMS.

I appreciate and understand your cavate.

So really the only thing I need to do is remove the house system from the isolator, and be mindful of the merge switch. I think I'll paint it a bright color add a label to the dash to reminding me to pay attention.
