Honda eu20i generator

[upcountry2]

Can anyone tell me if the above genny will be man enough to charge 3 120 amp/hr batteries via the boats built in 20 amp charger, the genny being plugged into the shore power socket?
Sorry if this seems a little basic, but that about sums me up.
TIA...

Yes more than enough and lots more besides. In January we ran up our 20i with the 1kw water heater and the battery charger, laptop etc. Once the water was up to temp we plugged in a 700w electic oil heater to warm the cabin. Topped up the fuel about midnight it ran out about 7am so SWMBO volunteered me to scramble across the frozen decks to refill it.

Expensive, but good kit. One of our better decisions.

Yes as Pete 7 says plenty man enough. A big overkill in fact.

The generator is rated at 1600 watts ... 2000 watts maximum. 20 amps at 12 volts is only 240 watts so even allowing for some inefficiency bags of power to spare.

The genny also has an 8 amp, 12volt output that can be used directly for battery charging.
