How long will my honda 2000 run on a gallon of gas

[Carvin_Marvin]

Just curious how many run hours on a gallon of gas. Currently at 7000' using econo mode to run the battery charger can I expect? It is a 3 stage charger.

I get anywhere from 10 to 15 hours on mine. That is at a bit under 4000'. I have a PD9260, but we are pretty easy on our battery usage, and the water heater and fridge are on propane.

An AC kWh meter would be useful.

I rigged up a 5 gallon marine tank. In the winter, I can run my fridge, a small space heater, watch a little TV, the microwave (with the heater off) and keep all of my electronics charged for an entire weekend on the 6 gallons of gas.

somewhere between the min and max runtime that honda spec's.

If your charging a big bank with 60A, about the most you can reliably get out of the honda for VA, you'll be running near 1600VA, the honda max continous power. If your running a lower amp charger it will run longer.

eco mode will adjust the output power to whatever the charger needs.

I usually get 6-7 hours a tank running my 2KW EU2000i Honda.

When camping off the power grid I run my 2KW generator every morning when allowed to power up my PD9260C Converter/charger unit to recharge my 50% depleted battery bank. This takes around three hours of generator run time to get them back up to their 90% charge state....

Then I am good to go for the next day/night run off my batteries...

It will run until it runs out of gas. 🙂

And.......

Here's how Honda specs it > > Runs 4 to 9.6 hours on one gallon.

I would assume 4 = Full Load & 9.6 = Eco & both probably at Sea level.

In Eco mode I get about 8 hours for a tank

[Huntindog]

mine have done from 8 to 15 hours in econ mode. As Mex said there are a lot of variables.

You're going to have to take all provided answers with a large grain of salt. Usage will fall within a wide window due to variables. Lbs of fuel per horsepower per hour is the formula.
