I have an EU2000i and can say that my converter/charger has actually stalled the engine in the econo mode when the generator engine was running cold. Of course, it normally wouldn't happen once the engine warms up. The point is, that the charger pulls a solid 1000 watts when the batteries are low. An EU1000i couldn't handle it.
Why are you plugging things in while the motor is still cold? Warm the motor up first for 2 or 3 minutes before plugging things in. Read the owners manual and follow the instructions. That's just plain old operator error.
I wondered how long it would take to get this reply.
I normally don't do it this way. Just pointing out how demanding the charger can be when the batteries are low.
