<DIV>One IOTA 55 will power two 1010's at one time. The bigger question is
whether or not your Honda 1000 will power it all at once.</DIV>
<DIV>IOTA says that the 55 will have a Max Draw of 1053 Watts. You'd only
be using 50 amps. I'd suspicion that you'd only be drawing around
700 W. I think Chad has some figures that might just completey satisfy
your curiosity... Seems to me that he took some readings while doing just
what you are discussing. </DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Adam,<BR>Well, you almost answered my question. Will a 1000
watt generator power two <BR>1010's at the same time while they're charging
four TP 5300's? Since I'm on <BR>it, will that take one 55 amp Iota, or two?
As I said, I'm electrically <BR>stupid.<BR><BR>Verne<BR><BR>BTW, I'm sure I'm
not alone, just not afraid to admit it... ;>)<BR><BR><BR>-----
