[NSRCA-discussion] Iota 55 power supply questions

[brian young]

I use the plug to bump the output voltage up to 14.2V and periodically my Cellpro10S chargers will give an overvoltage error, not sure this is entirely related to the input voltage to the charger but when I removed the plug the error didnt repeat. This was tested between the two chargers I used and the same battery. But the other battery didnt do it.

Anyway just a point of information.

Yes, 4 1010s at 10s 5amps each running from 2 Iota 55s is no problem with the 2kw Honda.  You could add 1 more 1010 on each Iota and have about 3 amps at 10s left for each.  No, I don’t have 6 1010s…..but the 2kw generator is popular at the field <G>.
 
I leave the small voltage jumper plug in my Iotas all the time – bumps output voltage from something like 13.4 to 14.2V, which should make the 1010s run a little more efficiently.

I agree with Chad - for a 1 kW Honda. You might consider 2 kW Honda for a little more $ & weight. It will handle (at least)  two Iota 55's & 4 1010's as well as a couple of TX battery chargers with no problem. (If you live in an area that experiences occasional power outages the 2 kW Honda will handle a lot of household items also.)
