    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    12 5ah batterys charging at more than an amp i feel would do damage to them over time. but eaton say in the docs its an amp so

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    i know that but that is not my point i will not be drawing a 20 amp load it will be like 7 amps maybe 8 if the batterys are charging

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    it wouldnt be hard to swap the wire im more just talking logically it makes more sense to swap the commando with a 16amp than try to put a 13amp plug on it in my head atleast

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    well whats your logic for having it on a 13amp plug then instead of the commando thats there?

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    id ideally just like to be able to use the ups the 16amp commando is there it wouldnt be hard to swap the 32amp on the cable to a 16 for now so why would i swap to the commando on the wall to some 13amp plugs?

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    thats not really my point and its in the garage so its more useful than youd think

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    well itd be ideal keeping it over running 6.5m cable for a small load and the commandos there so why not use it / use the 2.5m feeding it?

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    i’m not clinging onto it as of such just it’s there so it might aswell be used if i can actually power the ups with it / just wire in direct

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    at that point why would i not just put the 2.5m directly into the ups

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    i dont really need it now its just it happens to be in the place where i want the ups to be

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    ideally it would be best the 2.5m is already in the commando now yes i could just wire directly in but its still 2.5m so i might aswell leave it on the commando and IDEALLY i dont want to run 6.5m but it would be possible if i have to.

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    from what i can tell it’s a slow charge so i really doubt it’s going to be alot manual says an amp so

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    the charging current is around an amp 1.5 amps at best so i really do not see a problem

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    its on a 20A circuit but i will never be pulling more than 7 amps so i was hoping to get away with the 16amp commando so i wouldnt have to run 6.5m to here as thatd be the case

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    Well im not trying to draw 24 amps im not trying to draw more than 6 or 7 amps its for a small network switch and a router maybe a small pc on the side but i just dont want to swap the commando out for a bigger one unless necessary thats why im trying to get away with it like aslong as both...

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    the commando is already where i’d like said ups to be as for the numbers it’s more it can draw 24 amps IF i pull 24 amps from said ups so if i use the commando at 16 amps and pull no more than a few amps from the ups itself it should be fine no?

    Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

    i plan to run this with about a 4amp load would this be fine on a 16amp commando if im only drawing around 4 amps from the ups eaton say a 32 amp recommended but itll never see more than a 4amp load so would it be fine on a 16amp commando?
