I would like to get a gas generator for charging my batteries while in situations with no power ie island camping, friends cabin with no power etc. I am looking at the Yamaha ef1000isc 1000 watt model and was just wondering if this would be enough to power my 3 bank Dual Pro. That will be all i have plugged in, and I really don't need it fully charged by morning, or tank emptying. Just want to make sure I wouldn't be overpowering it with too much draw. I see that it has some type of 'smart' invertor technology, which makes me think it would work, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with this or any similar model. i want to get a lightweight unit, and one that won't break the bank, as I'll only be using it a half dozen times per year. Thanks in advance. |

Location: Yahara River Chain | Check your Dual Pro owner's manual. They should list the amp draw. I would think you could run that easily.
BTW, you should run them quite often and under a load (draw). I know I would run a backup power for a wastewater plant it would be each week and under full load. |

Location: north central wisconsin | The Dual Pro is a 15 amp X 3 banks. So, to me that is 45 amp draw..??? Vague on the ins and outs of the tesla world however. |

I think in a perfect world that would be true and I tend to agree that it would be very close to that number (45amps). Keep in mind that number (45) is an output number, what kind of power is needed to generate that output is the information you need to know. Like I said I think you have more than enough generator for the job. |

| 45 Amps at 12 volts, or so, on the output of the charger. That would be around 4.5 amps at 120Volts, or roughly 500 watts. A 1000 watt unit would be enough, but 1500 or more would be better. |
