Tried to figure the conversion efficiency of the Rediline and it probably isn't that much to brag about. According to your numbers, it would be about 37%. Rediline uses CCA of a battery to figure run-time (see image below) and there is no relationship between CCA and the AH rating of a battery...

Quick look at the Rediline generators...excellent surge capability and will "draw down" the batteries further than my inverter.. How noisy are they? Efficiency?

Reads about right, the inverter may have a low cut-off before the batteries get completely drained also, so you'd never get to use the full capacity. In comparison, my puny 70 Ah system lets me run a 200 Watt (average) load for about 8 hours and recharges fully in 45 minutes or so, at an 80 amp...

Okay, did a little searching, so they are Lead-Calcium types and can apparently handle a terrific charging rate, although didn't find any numbers on that specifically. If you can charge them in 8 hours, that would be at a 250 amp rate for a total of 2,000 Ah (each 24-cell bank). Very...

So Don, what is the capacity of your generator? How much of the total Ah capacity has been used up when the voltage has dropped to 46.5?

Couple of points, if the house batteries will run down, make sure they are "deep cycle", regular starting batteries will not recover after a few deep cycle run-downs and find a "pure sine wave" inverter if you plan on using electronics (in particular, a radio..lots of hum from modified sine wave...
