Re: (ET) Peak Power Draw of E20 Drive Motor

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

I must be missing something in your post.

I looked at the unit on Anker's website.  It appears to be mainly a 120 
volt source for running household appliances, since it has five NEMA 5-20 
receptacles on the front panel.

The specs say it also has a 12 volt, 10 ampere output.  However, that's 
120 
watts - not very much power at 12 volts.

How exactly are you proposing to use this gadget?

Trying to connect two 120 volt outputs in series for 240 volts won't work 
unless the units are somehow linked to they run in phase.  I didn't see an 
option for this, but maybe I missed it.

And what would you do with 240 volts in an ET anyway?

If you're thinking of connecting the two 12 volt 10 amp outputs in series 
for 24 volts, I think you'll find that neither the voltage nor the current 
available will be of any use to an ET.

Also, be careful of this.  If the internal components generating that 12 
volts aren't rated to handle 24 volts, they could go poof.

>From the specs, the internal battery is rated 51.2 volts.  I guess you 
could bust into the box and void the warranty to connect directly to that 
battery, but 51.2 volts seems like a wee bit much for a 36 volt ET. 

Again, sorry if I'm missing something here.
