Purchased a new DuroMax generator (13,000 watt peak / 10,500 watt running) hoping to fast charge with the C8000 charger.
Unable to fast charge when both NEMA 6-20 240v plugs from the C8000 are attached to the pigtail/splitter from the 50 amp service on the front panel of the Duromax.
The charger seems to start the charging process, then after a few seconds an additional load is applied by the charger (you can hear the generator start to work harder) then beeps from the charger and it recycles to start the charging cycle again.
Fast charging works fine with 2 generators.
Bad sine waves when the additional load is applied? (Triggering errors in the C8000 and causing the reset?)
Received some feedback stating an inverter style generator is required (like the dji 12000i). But I've seen people use the Westinghouse 9500 (12.5/9.5) for fast charging.
Like this... e.g. https://youtu.be/4kRuK4SEuWE?si=FoD9rg3x4DyLTtqD&t=71
I thought this Duromax would work as it seems to exceed the specs of the Westinghouse.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thx.
