Try this same test when it's 95F, raise the elevation, and chances are highly in favour of your single EU2000i falling flat on it's face when trying to start a typical 13.5K BTU A/C.
To try and help make this discussion a bit less redundant, and more productive, I'd like to emphasize most agree and acknowledge (including myself) that one EU2000i will NOT reliably start many 13.5k BTU a/c's. This is common knowledge and very, very, very, very, very old news. We don't need to beat a dead horse into the ground.
I ask: What is so difficult about acknowledging the fact there ARE a small number of very efficient 13.5k BTU a/c's that one EU2000i can reliably start/run with the Eco mode on at elevation and at high, desert temps? Why do we continue to ignore specific LRA values? Acknowledging these values during these various online discussions will do much to make these discussions much more objective and quantifiable in nature.
Ignoring LRA and just focusing on BTU ratings, elevation, and temperature, while discussing whether or not one EU2000i will start/run a given a/c unit, is much like ignoring payload and tongue weight and just focusing on tow capacity and TT weight while discussing whether or not a 1/2-ton truck is capable of towing a given TT.
What's the point?
