Paralleling 2 Honda 2000's

Can I just buy the parallel cable for $40 to link a Honda 2000i and a Honda 2000i Companion?
Confused since I see the parallel cable for cheap, but then there are kits for $130 and $180.
Thanks for your help

There are two different sets of parallel cables for the Honda EU-2000i series.
One (much lower in cost) is for use if one of the generators is a COMPANION

The other (higher cost) if neither of them is a Companion

So the answer to your question is the lower cost cable only kit will work for you That is why you bought a companion after all.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

I bought the parts and made my own. Searched around on google and found the instructions with diagrams. Works great.

Yes the low cost cables are fine. Especially if you have a companion with 30 amp outlet.
Usually the more expensive kits include a 30 amp outlet for the older (non-companion) set up.

You have to call them for prices, if they advertize the best price on the internet, Honda will refuse to sell to them anymore.

Good luck!

Yes, you can use just the parallel cables to join a companion type and a regular EU2000. You can use just the cables on two regular EU2000's but you will be limited by the 15 amp outlet on either generator. The $120 kits provide a 30 amp outlet and parallel cables so you can join 2 standard EU2000's. Before the companion was available a few years ago you had to buy the kit to parallel 2 EU2000's and get 30 amps. Also the 30 amp outlet on the companion generator is a standard L5-30R outlet so you will need an adapter for a rv style plug. Available at most camping stores and amazon.
