I only want a small gen to run a battery charger, and the more amps the better, but noise is a big issue.
PH Unloaded voltage- 120.8v King unloaded voltage 122.5v
A. PH with Vector charger at 20 amps (near max load for the 500 PH)
118.4v, 4.36a, 322w, 516VA, 59.9 hz (steady) PF 0.65 DC out-21.0a
B. King with Vector charger at 40 amps (near max for the 800w continuous King.)
99.8v, 7.29a, 543w, 715VA, 59.4hz (varies slightly), PF 0.76 DC out 38a
The King started with full Vector amps of 40.4 but quickly sagged in output voltage and the Vector amps tapered with that, until it settled about as above.
I sure wouldn't be impressed with such severe voltage sag under full load ... repeat this test with an EU1000i and you'd see very little. You sure are investing a lot of time & effort investigating alternate solutions which only confirm you get what you pay for. ;)
