I was merely stating what is required for the average RV'er to charge their batteries from a typical OEM (WFCO) 3 stage converter. Plain and simple; just 1 battery, nothing fancy or special. Why lug 2 champions at double the weight, doouble the hassle, and similar price to one Honda or Yamaha. If we can stay on topic for more than 20 seconds, it's as simple as that.
The single CPE 2000i is not a sure thing. Red or blue is.
I will be reporting back shortly if the synchronous 1200/1500 watt can do it.
The enigine on the 2000i is capable, that that argument is weak and not relevent. CPE needs to address the inverter module software, it is not just surge that is an issue, it is also Power Factor.
Heck the 400 watt inverter in my Tacoma pickup will handle my converter, it just dials back the voltage,(95 volts or so), but at least it will charge it in a pinch. That's a 400 watt OEM built in inverter BTW....Point being, it's ugly, but the superior operation of the control ciruitry means it manages the surge, and does not cut out.
