Honda's new EU2200i model...

I have tried paralleling combos of EU1000, EU2000 and EU3000 Hondas and in actual practice they all play well together. And no, the smaller one doesn’t go into overload as soon as a big load is turned on. I can’t imagine any problem running a 2000 with a 2200.
I’m pretty sure you can even parallel an EU with a pure sine wave inverter but I haven’t (yet) tried it. As many - but maybe not all - of you know, when paralleling these things the 120VAC outputs of each are simply connected directly together. There’s no other magic synching signal, the parallel operation ports are only connected directly to the regular 120VAC outlets. An EU just synchs up to another 120VAC source, it doesn’t necessarily have to originate from another Honda. 60hz 120VAC is 60hz 120VAC.
I might try that out because that might be a good way to run an A/C off a single EU2000.
I’d like to try running a battery charger off the Honda to top off a pair of deep-cycles, which are paralleled with the Honda to provide the extra power to start the A/C. The EU2000 can usually handle an A/C running, just not the compressor start-up.
