I have two honda ue3000is for my mobile business. They each pull about 18 amps, surge is up to 21 amps. Would it be better to have 1 ue6500 ?

My guess is that an AC charger plugged into one of the Honda's would be best for battery charging while using the generator(s) for your normal AC work. I don't think that the AC generators would be very efficient for DC charging only.

this D.C. plug will send 8amps DC to a battery with Eco mode off. U can also use it with Eco On but you get less power. See your owners manual for full info.

The 6,000 watt rating is for continuous use at 120V. Please not that the surge is not rated on this unit from generac, but never exceeds 10% running wattage. If you should have any further questions please contact me at 800.654.7440 ext 109 and I would be happy to assist with any further questions you may have!

Hello Peggy, If you Plan to use a load that surges to the 3,000 watt rating then you must use a 250 amp fuse or resettable circuit breaker for the Input side. This unit works well up to 1,000 watts It does not perform well on large start up motors like a Vacuum cleaner. I use this unit for small loads that require a pure sine wave. Mike

I wish I could help. Here is the spec sheet on it and there is no information on the amp rating, just the surge protection. http://media.accobrandspartner.com/datasheets/datasheet2012.aspx?sku=K62634&language=us&country=us&sow=1&hrp=1&brandID=6

I used 16G, 18G would be Good. the amps are low. It is a real nice tender I have 5 of them hook to 5-15W panels keeping my Tractor Charge and riding lawn more and my 85 Monte Carlo and my truck and my Harley. Keep all my stuff at peak charge.

Amps are only used on demand. As long as your rv does not exceed a 30 amp draw you won't exceed 30 on the surge protector

The CP600LCD offers a higher joule rating protection. If you are worried about energy surge, go with the higher joule rating. I have the EC650LCD and it works great, but the CP600LCD offers better surge protection at the cost of slightly lower output. Also, the EC650LCD is a slightly smaller unit - check the size, weight difference of each.

20 Amps is a max load for a 12-3 and if your going over a long distance the resistance will increase more. If it's new installation I would use 10-3 and then not have to worry. The cost difference is small.

After the Derecho, I got two of these based on recommendations of the Amateur Radio community in WV and OH. Very clean power. And sips fuel if you manage your loads correctly. From the specs: - AC output:120V 2000W. (2.0 kVA) max. (16.6A), 1600W (1.6kVA) rated (13.3A) Thus, running is a Nominal 13.3 A. (But you would be surprised what you can run at half of that. You can take it and a Companion version and gang them together into a transfer switch. Or run separate extension cords. I got mine from http://www.mayberrys.com/Honda/generators/eu2000.aspx since they are out on Amazon. Recommended is a Kill-a-Watt meter which measures the actual loads on appliances. Surprising how efficient new items are. P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity available from Amazon. I have TVs, Computers and Networks on Battery backups. These only draw 2.x amps -- really. The Refrigerator in the house hits 2.8A if the compressor kicks on. Coffee pots and Microwaves are as rated. I looked at several carts and the Honda one is better for my back. Your mileage may vary. If using with an RV or portable setup, you might want to get the theft proof bracket in Honda accessories on Amazon. That and a good Master Lock and 6 ft of good chain at least slows people down. This is not the right place for this but I hope it has been useful. I love mine (all two of them) and test them monthly. That is the key also -- test with Sta-Bil-ed fuel and cycle it all every 6 months or so.

The instructions don't say you should, I never have in 20 years of use. Some I know have used a 30 amp fuse. To be safe you probably should. One of those things I am to do but never do.

Tripplite's website shows that at full load it consumes 200 amps. If you plan on using it fully loaded, you may want a slightly larger fuse than 200, or use a circuit breaker. Fuse size also depends on the size and length of wiring you use to connect it to

I buy these caburadores empi 34 duo for a 1600cc engine, if I sense an increase in power, if doubt will give greater performance. regards

As the others have said, this device raises the voltage delivered but it will draw more current than it delivers. Ben W gave you the equations for that. Allow for the fact that the device itself is < 95% efficient and you definitely do not get something for nothing. But, we may be misunderstanding your question because of the fact you mention a 150cc motorcycle. The size of the engine has nothing to do with this. If the battery does not charge or you want to run other lights and the battery discharges too fast, this will not help you at all.

I don't know as I haven't used my charger other than as a 'backup'. The used Honda generator I bought was a 'companion' model that allows two 2000i generators to be hooked together. That feature takes the normal 12VDC output off the circuit panel. I needed a back up power for 12VDC. It's 8amp and won't overdraw on the generator. Mine works for what it does, charges wet-cell 12VDC batteries. I haven't had any experience with AGM (glass-grid) batteries. Regards. D. in Lacey, WA

From what I understand 14000 is rated, I don't know what the surge is on the generator I'm not 100% sure and would have to go back and look it up, however, the 14000 is continuous rated. As far as I'm concerned, most appliances that are running will have to be restarted and will not come back on their own. The only appliances that will come back on their own immediately and create a surge is central air/heat, TVs, refrigerators and coffee pots; everything else, including microwaves, ovens, electric ovens, washer/dryers, etc. will have to be restarted, which eliminates half your load on surge; then you have your own decision making power of what you want on during an emergency. The RTSD100A3 Smart Switch allows you to automatically transfer from the utility to the generator automatically and safely, and you also have the option to shed loads that you do not want on the generator; thereby routing the load and switching it over to the switch in order to isolate the load from the house load. I've been an electrician for roughly 30 years, and forewarn you that this is very intricate to set up, and I also forewarn you that I had a plummer do the hook up for the gas line. All in all, I'm very glad to have made this purchase, and have been told by friends and family that they will be crashing at my house if they ever lose power like they did during hurricane Sandy, and now they are teasing me saying that I'm turning into one of those survivalist people. I'm not, I just like to be cool in the Summer, and warm in the Winter, and I don't like it when my food spoils because there is no power. Best regards, Mike

I would suggest something mid range like 15 amps but definitely nothing higher than what was on the unit. The reason you blew the fuse was you put to high a load on it. By putting a higher rated fuse, your risking a fire.

Checking amperage has safety implications, and I suspect that's why low-cost units are limited to 20A. You can get more information from the following video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ar7qkMHKw4
