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>.</SPAN></FONT></P>

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.)</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
