Volts Amps Watts Help I'm Dumb

There is not way to tell.

This manufacturer's data sheet doesn't mention the 12 volt output at all.

More info, but nothing on the 12 volt output:

Correction.

On page 21, the drawing shows a DC rectifier, DC receptacle and DC circuit breaker. But it looks pretty small. Perhaps tapping off the excitation circuit. I would guess a few amps max.

The 12V output is presumably DC ?

It's anyone's guess. What does the manual say ?

It's most unlikely to be more than 83A

I've a generator that looks identical but is (UK) rated at 750Watts. The 12V out is marked at 8.3Amps.

Odd the manufacturer didn't label the 12 volt output as AC or DC. I'd hate to hook it to a battery that needs recharging without knowing the answer.

The chances are 99.999999999% in favor of it being DC - I've never even _heard_ of an AC generator with AC on the auxiliary 12V connector.

If it wasn't suitable for battery charging as it is, they probably wouldn't have said that so in the ad.

In the exploded view, they list DC receptacle, DC rectifier and DC circuit breaker. I would like to see the current rating on that circuit breaker. They must not be too proud of the DC output, because they don't advertise either a voltage or current spec for it. I'm betting it is a very crude 12 volt output good for a few amperes (less than 10), continuously.

As a possible comparison, my Honda EU2000i, with the 120 VAC output rated at 1600 VA, provides a DC output rated at 8 A max, for charging

answer.

I'd like to see what charger circuit they use for the 12 volt portion of the generator.

Only the most crude of chargers, I'm sure.

Exactly as I feel.
