24V-LFP Offgrid Cabineer here.
Samlex EVO-4024 Inverter/Charger (capable of 100A charge max) takes Dual AC Input (Grid & Genset). I have no Grid (2 miles away).
This also provides "Pass-Through" power to the home during charging.
Charger Mode set to use 80A to charge my battery bank (1190AH) which I use during Winter on those "dark days" because I am quite North.
Charge from Genset Input is via the L5:30 (120V/30A) plug which goes to a Square-D 120V/40A Breaker then to the Inverter. @ 80A Charge it is pulling 120V/22-25A.
I use a Champion Inverter Generator (Canadian Version) but here is the US version. NB Starts everytime on 1st Pull and even in -35C/-31F temps.
With these settings the Gen does not run at "full tilt" and is at the edge of eco-mode but it steps up very nicely when needed (ie Well Pump kicks on) and steps down very nicely. Being PURE SINE that is what passes through, which is good for anything with a motor & fine electronics, the most obvious "noticeable" is the CLOCKS ! They do not speed up or slow down because the frequency is 60HZ and no deviations, regardless of load. It IS very clean power and at a very affordable price point as well.

I switched to this Genset from by big 9000W Construction genset (Another Champion Generator) because it was "overkill" and also NOT Pure Sine resulting in "dirty pass-through" as no Inverter will correct the incoming Sine Wave.
As I am LFP the info does not directly translate but IF I allow my bank to get down to where I need to use the Genny (it happens even with 7 days stored), I run the Generator for an 8 Hour cycle, that provides 4.5 days stored energy while also providing pass-through power.
NOTE: I have been using Champion Power Equipment for over 20 years and have not had any issues of significance at all. Some of it has had to survive "Extreme Hard Use" and everything still runs great. The GOTCHA ! Maintenance MUST be a Religion ! Change the oil when it must per specs & clean filter as well... and you will not have problems. I allow for "Natural Oil" during the 1st run break-in 3rd Oil Change goes to Pure Synthetic 0W50 and regular oil changes. Because I use Pure Synthetic Oil, I now do oil changes at 70 Hrs and it is still actually not bad. *Mobil -1 Pure Synthetic is very good oil BTW.
Hope it Helps, Good Luck.
