I am trying to determine if the Honda EU2000i Portable Generator will work with my Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger and I can't interpret the specifications of the charger. Does anyone know if that 2000 watt generator will work with the Phoenix?

> If you do want an inverter based generator (eg for noise reasons under lower loading), get one that is at least 30% larger than required than an equivalent AVR based model to help prevent nuisance overloads.
Also based on docs from above and depending on you IP43 version power, you could run 2-3 of them simultaneous on Honda EU2000i.

But despite it, there are questions on @victron.
Is there an inrush-current value known on Phoenix Smart IP43 devices on AC input site?
Does it make difference on inrush-current value
if connected or not connected to batteries?
