one last question for any of you who run an inverter generator. Currently my Honda 2000i basically idles when plugged in and charging. I assume this is because the charger is stuck at 13.6 volts.
If I go to a PD 45 or a PD 60 amp I'm assuming the generator is going to ramp up a bit and make some noise. Does your 60 amp charger cause the generator to really ramp up and put out some noise? Or does it still stay fairly low in the decibel range? . . .
Yup, at 13.6v not much of a load--maybe 3-4a.
The Honda 2000 just starts getting noticeably louder as its load approaches 8a. 7a or less, it's still relatively quiet. The PD 45a and 60a converters I've used draw 7-8a and 9-10a under full-load at 14.4v. The PD 45a will ramp up the Honda a bit (the 60a noticeably more), but not as much as it would running an a/c.
