Afternoon all
Bought one of the GMC generators at Bunnings (price too good to pass by), and works fine on 240 volts - will run the 650 angle grinder no probs - but the DC output is around 19 volts (tested with a multimeter), rated at 8 amps in the literature, (but I don't know how to test that). The specs also say 14.4 volt is the DC ouput.

I want to use it mainly to charge the second (deep cycley) battery on longstays.

Two questions:

1. Is 19 volts too high for battery charging?

2. Can I run the Engel (E series) directly from the generator?

I've searched the forum but these questions don't appear to have been discussed.

Cheers

Hendo
