My radioshack multimeter was fast enough to see a lot of variation, much faster than the cellpro's display of input voltage. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The problem would surface once a load greater than 10 amps was drawn on the IOTA. The voltage would run at 13.4 V and stable when drawing up to 10-15 amps, higher amperage and the voltage begin to fluctuate by 0.3-0.5 volts dropping to a nominal voltage around 11.9-12V. The IOTA is stated as capable of 13.6 V at 55 Amps. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On a side note I took the cover off and noticed a blade of grass hanging around legs of the voltage controller. I blew it out with my shop vac in reverse and it has functioned fine on the the last three uses drawing up to 44 amps with a stable voltage of 13.5. I have not received the replacement yet. I discovered this after talking to IOTA, hate to go ahead and warranty it now but its hard to tell for sure what went wrong. Mines only a year or so old.<BR></DIV>

<DIV>Just a followup on this and IOTA as a pseudo pattern supplier. I left them an Email and they said whats your address we will ship you a new one return the old one in a box, that was nice. </DIV>

<DIV>Went by HD at lunch. No luck. Doesn't look like they ever carried that model at the store where I went. Drats.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I went online at the HD website and found this:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100669124</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Only 26lbs. Price includes shipping. I ordered one. I figure 750w AC should run my chargers and a fan. :-) I ran the battery in my van down once, it still started but the alternator quickly went out trying to charge a nearly dead battery. Don't want that to happen again. I have a 20 amp 12v power supply, but think I will get a 30 or 40 amp RV converter to go with this generator.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'll let you know how it turns out.</DIV>

<DIV id=EC_yiv1850378299>Well that would make sense--they speed up to produce power as it's needed--and a heating element is on and off to maintain an average temp. Certainly worth looking at. I like the little Honda as it's fairly easy on my wimpy back and quiet enough if you run an extension from having it at the front of the vehicle to the back--you are hardly aware it's there at full power. There's enough power to run two chargers and a small fan for motor cooling on hot days... I need to get a little oscillating fan--cool the motor--cool the pilot--cool the motor....<BR> <BR>BTW, I happened to be in the Muncie area touring some glass and fiberglass manufacturing facilities--(HOT)--but got a chance to stop by the AMA Headquarters after hours.

<DIV>One guy on the RV forum bought one at that price. The only complaint he had about it was the eco mode causing it to speed up and slow down constantly while his coffee maker was on. :-) I think it is worth looking at, and I plan to go down to HD today to see if they have one.</DIV>
