Mod, please delete. I clicked the wrong quote buttonsorry
Just wondering if you or anyone else had any update or new information on this. I recently purchased two of these along with the parallel kit and I am wanting hook up a(n) external tank to them.
Not sure if I could split the line or if I would need two setups.
Thanks.

Good evening. I spent this morning with an instructor of low voltage electronics and an Oscilloscope and ran the Champion 2000i with the World Friendship Company Charger Converter model 8955 (55amp) found in my 2009 Springdale Travel Trailer.
I also scoped the open synchronous Champion Model 46515 4000w/3500w. (off topic).
He and I were pleased with the wave form produced by the inverter generator.
This is the Champion 2000i inverter with no load.
This is the Champion 2000i inverter with WFCO Charger Converter attached with no load. A 200 ohm resistor was attached and the wave form did not change. Notice the slightly flattened wave.
This is the Champion 20001 inverter with WFCO Charger Converter attached with a 200 ohm resister on the 12 volt side and a 900 watt resistive load (halogen light set). Notice the flattening changes with another load in place.
Here is the link to a Progressive Dynamics Charger Converter scoped and operated by a Honda Inverter eu2000i and then by the Onan Open Synch Generator. Off Topic.
I know we were looking for the Little Champ to be scoped. It appears to be a clean wave and little distortion with my WFCO attached. The instructor liked what he saw.
Because my WFCO was out of the camper, it was scoped on the bench. Next, I will put it back into the camper, attached to the battery leads and do it again.
Professor, any thoughts?
Questions answered early: The generator was outside, we were inside, keeping warm. The supply to the converter was with a 10 guage extension cord approximately 25 feet. The converter/charger comes with 12 guage wires soldered to the board. The scoping was done at the connection to the converter. On my next post, I will post the Open Synch. Never mind. I will post the professor's link, instead. It had the same exact results and it would be off topic. Link to professors pics of open synch Champion with WFCO attached.
This is for comparison purposes only.
