[C320-list] Shore Power Charger

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

Al, 

On cl3 I have a Prosine 3000W charger/inverter that puts out 120A to charge the batteries...charging amps and service amps are not directly related..

 I was led to believe that if you put in a 40 amp charger and your shore power was only 120v - 20amp service the max your charger will produce is 20 amps of charging power .
