Re: 80 amp converter and eu2000i
Strange, I replied but now I see my post is gone.. Hmm, I'll try this again. Thanks Road-Runner. I had forgotten about gens being rated in VA's. Seems the 80A is just too much for my little Honda so I'll be ordering the 60A version. The good part is I'll save some money and have even less voltage drop. I'll just have to run it longer during those few times I have to recharge at a site or maybe invest in some solar. Thanks again, for the input, S1KViews0likes0Comments80 amp converter and eu2000i
I'm putting together a 400A Lipo4 battery setup (4x100) and would like to charge it with a Progressive Dynamics PD9180AL converter, which I would occasionally run from my Honda eu2000i (1600W continuous) gen. PD lists the power draw as 1300 watts for this 80% efficient converter (impossible). I read where one guy said it drew well over 1800 watts at full power and his Honda couldn't power it. It's also suspicious to me that this converter has a 20A plug - why if it supposedly only draws 1300 watts? Realistically, this converter pulls close to 1500 watts and since it has a power factor of less than one, it could be more than 1600 watts. So my question is, has anyone successfully run a 80A converter (for any battery type) from their Honda eu2000i? I would like to hear from anyone here that has some insight or direct experience with this combination. Thanks, ScottSolved1.1KViews0likes3Comments- 601Views0likes0Comments
