I have three SOK 270AH LiFePO4 batteries and a Victron inverter along with solar. I am getting ready to do some boondocking. I want to buy an external generator that I would plug into my system through the shore power connector and use that to charge my batteries as needed. In my mind, the power from the generator should be essentially like shore power from a pedestal. If I turn on the inverter, I expect the inverter will direct power to the batteries to charge them and also manage the process along with the BMS system. But, I read in an article you should not charge your batteries through an inverter.
Am I wrong to take this approach? Should I instead buy a compatible battery charger, connect it to the generator, and then connect the charger to the batteries? Much more convoluted IMHO.
I appreciate the help.
Thanks
