PD 9180 needs 20 amp cord?
Hey all, With all this converter talk recently, I noticed that the prog. dyn. PD9180/9280 converter comes with a 20 amp cord and plug. Can't tell if the cord wire is 12awg but probably. Fine. So...

My PD9260C really revs up my 2KW Honda in economy mode... I think it is rated at 1000WATTS for 60AMP DC OUTPUT...
Running four batteries in my battery bank really needs a source that produce BOOST MODE at 20AMPs per battery so I can get them re-charged in a three hour time frame...
Pretty sure my 2KW Honda would have a problem running the PD9180 80AMP DC current model... It sounds pretty maxed for the 60AMP model...

the PD60 is pretty much the limit for a honda 2000 for reliable operation with close to 60A output. The VA kills ya. That's why I went with the PD60 rather than a PD80. VQ draw for the PD60 based on my measurements at 60A output is near 1500VA, close to the continous rating on the honda 2000.
I think the honda would have more that a problem running the PD80 near 80A, I think in all likelyhood it would overload.
