How many kWh per gallon? Let's find the setting for the most fuel efficiency. I'm using my Honda generator to re-charge my battery bank. This is part of my off grid solar electric system backing up my whole home. The generator feeds 240VAC into a charger to re-charge the lithium battery.

I'm using the 100 Amp charger from Signature solar called the Chargeverter.

The generator is a Honda EU6500, it's an inverter generator. I'm running regular gasoline from the pump, which can contain up to 10% ethanol according to the sticker on the pump.

The battery bank is a LiFePO4 EG4 LifePower4. It is made up of 6 individual server rack batteries into one cabinet for a total of 30kWh capacity.

The inverter is a Schneider XW PRO 6848.
