Question:

Im installing 2 lion energy 100 AH lithium batteries and I want to switch out my converter to a lithium progressive dynamics 60 or 80. Will my Honda 2000 generator be enough to power either of them? Thanks

The Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger - Lithium - 12V - 60 Amps, # PD9160ALV and # PD9180ALV is a converter/charger that changes AC provided (generator or shore connection) power to DC power to operate 12V loads and to charge your lithium RV battery pack.

According to the specs available to me the maximum AC output of the Honda is 2000 watts with a rated AC Output of 1600 watts. Rated / Maximum AC Current is 13.3 / 16.7 amps @ 120V. This will run small appliances and charge your battery pack just fine. It may or may not operate your air conditioner if your RV is so equipped. That is dependent on the size of AC and what the power draw is.

The Progressive Dynamics - 60 Amps # PD9160ALV will allow up to 60 amps power draw while you will not be able to pull that from a smaller inverter generator, you may need that at times if connected to shore power depending on what you choose to operate.
