Hi Jack, I've had the same one for a while now and had no problem. I used to run it off my Kipor1000 with no trouble, the 2000 hardly blinks when I turn it on.
I think you will need an inverter generater, pretty sure they don't like modified sine wave gennies.
I'm sure some one on here can probably exlpain why.

G'day Jack,
Can't offer a comment on the charger in question, as I'm not familiar with 'em...
(I have a Projecta MC121150)
However, I have purchased (other items) from the same ebay seller, and have been 100% satisfied with service, quality, & price... He's in Vic.
You may wish to also keep an eye on other similar items from the same seller..
Item #'s 4635105525,
4635585621 (20 amp),
& 4635650987...
These are your "normal" ebay auctions (not Buy It Now), & you may be lucky enough to pick up one or the other for substantially less than the buy-now price...
Indeed, if you don't need it urgently, it pays to watch such items for a few weeks or so to get an idea what people are actually paying, & it is often possible to pick up a real bargain... Good luck with it..
Regards, Ed. C.

Mate, I've got 2 of those chargers...........one mounted permanently in my Ultimate Camper trailer and the other mounted in the Patrol. The camper has 2 x 105a/h SuperCharge SLA batteries in parrallel, whilst the Patrol's 2nd battery, mounted in the cargo area, is a 120a/h Fullriver Gel Cell. The charger has the option of selecting wet-cell or gel-cell batteries and has 3 options for the float charge voltage.
I am very pleased with them.
Cheers
Roachie
