Make sure the gen has enough VA to run the charger. A 2000w inverter gen is about maxed out with about a 70a non-PF corrected charger. The PD 80 amper is non-PF corrected. Some say they have run an 80 amp PD with a Honda 2000. I don't know how!
Appears the 2000w should handle it.
Specs on the Honda 2000i
AC Output: 120V 2000W max.(16.7A)
1600W rated (13.3A)
Receptacles: 20A 125V Duplex
Specs for the PD9180A
Input: 105-130 VAC, 1,300 Watts
Note: Requires 20 amp rated outlet
Output: 13.6 VDC, 80 Amps
Here we go again!!!! :(
The PD converter has a PF of 0.7, so that "1300w" is actually 1857 VA required from the 120v power supply. Which is why they want a 20a plug in with 12 wire for it.
The Honda "2000" has a continuous rating of 1600VA (not "watts")
