Honda 2000I versus Cpe 2000 inverter
I just weigh a Honda with full gas tank 53.2# Also weigh my cpe 2000 with full gas tank 55.6# I cannot tell the difference by lifting them For practical purposes they are the same heigh...

Some interesting numbers I saw early today "Honda"
115.5v 17.03 amps = 1966.965 computed VA, PF 0.781
123.9v 16.89 amps = 2092.671 computed VA,
Watts 1538.6 , computed PF 0.735232

122.9v. 12.3 amps = computed VA 1511.67
Present number this minutes, Using the Champ 2000 inverter genny
Yes been running for several hours, did not get start up numbers, but not super high, only around 33 charge amps less than one half generator load
123.3v 2.14 amps computed VA 263.862
Watts reading 170.4, PF reading 0.649
Dc power meter charging rate reading
14.56v 3.34 amps 49.6 watts
So the VA of 263.84 results in a 49.6w charge rate
What we need are power Factor corrected converters that are more efficient
The converter is using 170w (from 263VA) to provide 49 watt charge
It does better (more efficient) at higher amps, but this could stand lots of improvement
I have some pix, just need to get them upload and posted
Will edit this post, when pix are uploaded
