I have a Optima Digital 400, if that does it more efficiently or faster??

No. Its 4 amp charge rate would take forever.

Well, not 'forever' , just 110/4 hours.

That's what I thought - I bought that for top-off TC and for the motorcycle when they sit for awhile ...

I'll go look up what's in the Lance tomorrow ...

We're just looking at options here, at the moment -- but was looking at the 2200i, and see it has two outlets, one regular 110 plug, and looks like a 30amp on the other one. Looks like one Honda is stand alone, with two 110 plugs, and the other is for the dual run, with the 30a outlet.

The 30a outlet one looks identical, but for the outlets - but shows about $100 more ... seems high just to add a larger plug ???

Seems to me if I bought the one with the 30a female outlet, I could just plug my 30a power cord directly in it, just as if the generator is the power pedastal??

That would save a lot of hassle -

And, I know, I do get it with solar - and may go that route eventually. But for now, the generator will serve us on the road, and when we are home and lose power ... storms seem to knock it out.
