Also, assuming you confirm there's an important distinction which makes a charger different from the portable power source, then my next question would be: so, if I charge it for hours and hours to the point where it stores enough energy to run the fuel pump for a long time (thus proving your original theory), then surely my generator batteries will eventually drain once again which means I must repeat this lengthy charging task every so often.... and therefore I wonder what is the best permanent fix? Do I replace the batteries with brand new ones and they'll last for years without ever needing to charge, or is it normal to constantly charge ones batteries every couple weeks? (Or is this relation to your mention of 12V converter perhaps somehow not being connected when it should be? And, if so, then should the ultimate correct process be that the engine alternator runs energy to the converter which then runs it to the generator battery?)
I'd love to understand what's being said now, in the 'test this to see' phase, as well as understand the bigger, longer-term 'this is how things ought to work' setup. Thanks again!
