No, that was Sept 23 in Black hills National Forest, South Dakota during a 5 day stretch of rain heavy overcast. I normally wait till the bank is lower (25-30%) before charging off the generator but with more days of rain in the forecast and it stopped raining that evening what better time to drag the generator out.
My 100 amp PF corrected charger (run from a Honda 3000) showed this on the Kill-A-Watt:
122.7v, 15.57a, 1910VA, 1854w, PF 0.97 doing 102 amps DC set to 14.8v
Your figures seem to show AC in is 122v at 14a = 1708VA
I am baffled how you can get 112 amps out from 1708VA when I am getting 102 amps out with 1910VA needed and both chargers are PF corrected.
1708/1910 x 102 = 91 amps, which is also about right for your Honda 2000 at 13.3 on the 125 amper. 13.3/18 x 125 = 92
How can you get 112 amps with a Honda 2000?
