BFL, I agree, I'm just wondering if the Kill a Watt will essentially give me the same info. Just take whatever wattage it's showing and divide by 10 to get a rough estimation of the amps going into the battery. Just how "rough" an estimate it would be, I'm not sure.
This also kind of touches on something that was brought up a few months ago on one of my threads, whether or not a charger is PFC corrected. For instance, the Kill a Watt showed the following:
PF .57
Amps .73
Watts 51
Volts(122) X Amps(.73) = Watts (89)
Then multiply the 89W by the PF(.57) and you get the 51W it was displaying. That all makes perfect sense to me. And I think it's safe to assume that in terms of watts, 51 is the number I care about. So, roughly 5.1A going to the batts...
