If I have a 1000W generator powering this charger, will the charger know to only pull 1000W?

I haven't made time to try the new charger - I have a 2000 watt Yamaha generator I wasHoping to use - the charger uses up to 1800 watts - my generator is rated at 1650 continuousI wouldn't even consider a 1000 watt generator!Bottom line is charger will use the mostEnergy on a fully discharged battery set. If you are just topping of batteries it will use less. 1 kw generator - I wouldn't do it!

I think the name plate watts are 800. Check the name plate one more time. think they are well within your usage

This is a 25 amp generator for 48 volt Ie total about 1250 watts total if it was doing bulk charge It should preferably have generator with more wattage than that.1500 to 2000 should suffice

Actually the charger is rated 15 amps at 120 volts ac input. This is the load that the generator sees, not the 48 volts at 25 amps ouput. Using the formula P=I times E we see 120 volts times 15 amps gives us a draw of 1800 watts. Much more than your generator is able to provide.

Should work fine, I haven't seen the charger draw over 15 A from the 115VAC mains

1000 watts will run fine from a single outlet!What they are saying that you cannot pull more than 1000 watts total from both outlets. If one outlet draws 750 watts, you have 250 watts left for the second outlet!

No, unless your charger has a high amperage starter setting. Even then, you may exceed the available amp draw on the starter setting. These large winches can exceed 300 amps when nearing stall line pulls. Starter settings also are for very short cranking cycles(&lt;10-15 Sec.)

Yes, your device will only pull Amperage (mA) it needs. In your case 500mA. Adapter is capable of providing up to 2000mA.

No, I think the questioner does mean watts. In applications where using a generator, such as a 2000w generator it is important to know the startup amps/watts so as not to overload the generator capacity. So I would repeat, does anyone know the startup watt draw? Start up amp draw would help as well.

Why put a trickle charger on it. Just run the generator once in a while, and that will keep it charged.

If you go to 1000 watt you can charge a 12v battery bank then 2000 watt for 24v battery bank with this charge controller

No. This charger won't fit. The hole that fits on the generator is too small.

Yes..it operates using a nice little battery,and uses a pull cord for backup..but the battery should be charged using the included charger probably 5-6 times a year depending on equipment use.You should know that running the generator does not charge the battery.Luckily,even though I've had the generator for just about a year,I've never lost power!

I'm not sure (amp wise). But I have 1000 watt panels connected to my charge controller for about 6 months now, and it's working excellent.

Shouldn't hurt at all. Computer will only draw what it needs. It won't fry any more than plugging that 90w charger into a wall outlet that has about 1800 watts or more potential in it. (120V X 15A)

Yes, that's what this design. When generator starts should not be connected all the charging at the same time. Why generator may be damaged.

ive owned this inverter and it is 1000 watts in one plug dude must have been on crack that day of the video. Only down side to it this inverter will not handle very much surge it will go up to about 1200 surge and beep the hole time but 1000 output it will do and hold it.

Yes it will. It is a standard power conditioner. Just add up the VA of all that you wish to have good power and as long as it's under 1000, you're OK.

No, the charger plugs into a sidemount receptacle and only occupies one plug. You only need one circuit as the draw is minimal. You should check to see how many other devices are on that circuit though - one dedicated feed would be ideal.

I bought 2 PowerGen white 2.1 amp chargers. I emailed them at info@powergenbatt.com with a question that wasn't well explained in their documentation or web site. They replied promptly with the answer and I suggest you contact them for their authoritative answer. I'm guessing that there is no problem for your devices but to be safe get the answer from PowerGen.
