Chargeverter Question...

[zant69]

If I don't want to use a generator.....will it work if I plug into 120v house outlet?Thx

Yes, just not going to get the max power out of it

AC Input Voltage Range: 90-264VAC
Maximum Input Amps: 26A at 240VAC, 28A at 120VAC

Yes. You can order a plug for 120V also. Confirmed both cables work. Be cautious about setting up amps when plugged in to 120V. As far as I know, it is possible to overload household circuit this way. I cap it at 23A (DC output) to not warm things up too much when on 20A circuit. With my EU6500i, I limit it to I think 75A DC output to leave a little headroom.

It will be much cheaper to charge with POCO power, versus generator power.
Generator is the last resort.

I have mine connected to the grid if I need any charging, winter time f.ex.
Works perfect.
I got 230V in though, not 120V.
If you only have 120V the Chargeverter will run on half the amps out.

As others note, there is basically no need to do this as a simple charger will cost less if AC power is available. I have three chargeverters and am glad I do, but there is no need to use them if you have grid power available. They're made to work with a generator as the power source.
