<DIV>While the 12V charge outlet may be limited to 8A, you can use your 12V
Power Supply like the Iota and plug it into the AC outlet and then all 1000
watts is available for use. I have been able to charge using 2 TP1010Cs
both charging 10S packs at 5A on a Honda 1000 without issue.</DIV>

do I power my TP 1010C charger?<BR>> <BR>> Verne,<BR>> <BR>> On
the Honda 1000i, what amperage can you charge at without kicking off the
generator? Can you charge two 5S 5000 packs at 5 amps? I remember not being
able to charge at a very high rate while using the Kipor 2000 (Honda clone).
What was bad was that if I tried to charge at say 5 amps, then the generator
may or may not disrupt the charge circuit at some point. However, you couldn't
hear it so I would go back and to find that the charger kicked off because of
the power interruptions or whatever.<BR>> Thanks,<BR>> Jim<BR>>

power my TP 1010C charger?<BR>> <BR>> What Chad said. I would stick with
Iota DLS-55 power supply as it leaves room for future growth. For contest and
field use, you can't beat the Honda EU-1000i. Get a used one on E-Bay. It'll
save you 2 or 3 hundred dollars. Chances are, it will come from an RV-er who
used it once and decided they need the 2 or 3 thousand watt version.<BR>>

either the DLS-55, DLS-45 or DLS-30 depending on how many chargers you want to

less, and will drive nearly three 1010 chargers (two set to 5A and one set to
4A).<BR>> > <BR>> > Then you can charge from the mains at home no
