Max Charge Rate

The battery charger’s maximum output current can be specified using the Max Charge Rate menu. The default is 100% of the maximum charge rate. Refer to the RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual for model-specific adjustable charge rates in amps.

Set Shore Power

The inverter monitors the AC power being drawn by both the battery charger and the AC loads connected to the inverter. If the current draw approaches the shorepower circuit breaker rating, the battery charger reduces the amount of current supplied to the batteries to provide the maximum current to the AC loads. Set Shore Power ensures the battery charger does not exceed the shorepower circuit breaker rating. This setting should match the shorepower or generator’s circuit breaker rating. The default setting is 30 amps (and above).

Note: The maximum current draw from the RV3012GS charger is 28 amps.

Note: This setting does not prevent the loads from exceeding the shore circuit breaker rating.
