¿Qué cubre este video?

Atom tests two portable gas generators, the Honda EU2200i and the PowerSmart 2500, to charge 48-volt lithium battery banks on a Cape Dory 27 and a Cape Dory 36.Watch Both generators provide enough power to run a 20-amp charger, which outputs approximately 17 amps or 900 watts, allowing for continuous motoring at speeds between 3 and 3.5 knots in calm water.0:48 The setup requires a 15-amp to 30-amp adapter and a neutral-to-ground bonding plug to prevent reverse polarity faults in the boat's AC system.5:18 While the Honda EU2200i is a standard choice, the PowerSmart 2500 costs one-third as much and lacks a carbon monoxide sensor, which prevents the unit from shutting down unexpectedly in marine environments.9:20 Both units consume roughly one gallon of fuel every five hours under load.8:43 Using a generator serves as an emergency range extender when solar and motor regeneration cannot maintain the battery state of charge during passages.2:26
