I receive a email from CPE and the latest software (400ms) has been added to the product, starting 1 NOV 2010.
All units after Nov 1st 2010 production have the latest software upgrades. We began during Sept. deciding what to increase the load potential to, and it was actively included starting Nov. serial nos.
My comment on the new model with 12v charging plug.
If it is the same as Honda, the 12v is not controlled, no charging controller, if you forget your battery plugged, well you will fried your battery. ( I did not see any generator with charging controller, except, maybe the one with a starter)
I was asked via pm what the serial numbers were on my two cpe 2000i's which are both 19th of November builds. As my previous post said, I am able to charge the RV Battery and run the microwave at the same time, with one champion. I was also running the pump as well as I was flushing out thewater line anti freeze. Lights and radio were on as well. My converter charger is a Parallax 7155, and my microwave is a Hamilton Beach MW900BK for what its worth. By the way the gen was in econ mode. If the aboce is true then I have the latest programming. With the Champion, I am a very happy camper :-)
This post should set the bar for all. The 55a Converter/Charger could go as high as 900w input. The 900w MW could go as high as x2 input, way over the rated 1600w for the Champion 2000i ~ These two items are a 'hard go' each, for the Inverter gens, period. If others don't have the same results, maybe they should return their unit/units to the store for credit, to be 'happy campers'... The way I understand, CPE, only offers self help or Service Centers for repairs.
NSC,
From your profile you have been RV'ing for twenty years. Did you own other gensets? If so, I assume you are the well experienced happy camper. Perhaps you will share some other gen knowledge. I see only two posts and both are posted here, so welcome to the thread.
