Where to buy Honda Gennie

I bought mine EU10i from Grahams also. Over the Net at www.grahams.com.au. Arrived 2-3 days later. Was the best price that I was able to track down. I think they are down Queanbeyan way. One of my best investments.

Thanks Michael and H20 just tried the link and works so will give them a ring tommorrow also, gunna be on the phone a bit I'd say. Cheers guys thanks for the info much appreciated. Regards Steve M

Thanks Ray that doesnt sound too badder price for the EU20i, will give honda a ring tommorrow and see if they have any deals going. I believe there is a fish and tackle show on this weekend at Rose Hill so will go and see if thre are any stores set up there at all may have some specials going.Might get a special on a new Engel as well !! Am leavn the wife at home wont know how much I've spent then. Mate comeing with me instead might get a better deal cause where buying 2 of each Regards Steve M

Hi there Goeff, just been searching through the phone book and can't find any one selling honda gennies in that area, hope the name comes to you and you can let me know. Thanks anyway for the info will see if I can find anything on the net in regards to Drummoyne & Honda's. Regards Steve M

Thanks heaps for that Geoff will definately be givn them a ring tommorrow. Thankyou Regards Steve M

Hi there Steve ( is a good name eh !!) will also ring the place you have noted and see which has a better deal. Thanks for your reply much appreciated. Regards Steve M

Well I didn't think the name was that flash, a little common really.
Now I've played around a little,
I'm sure it was Kennys but if Birkenhead Batteries & Solar & Power & Deals can do better, hey, even better.
Go for it, from personal experience the Honda won't disappoint.

Geoff.

Yeah fairly common eh bit like smith, anyway will call both tommorrow and see how I go, yeah looked at the Kipor's and good value but not enough service agents to fix if required and yes Honda's are dearer but hey when Im in the scrub I dont want failure's not saying the honda wont but fair chance that where ever I am some one will know of a Honda Dealer.Friends have had one for 15 years and still going like a dream and very quit. Thanks Again Geoff Regards Steve M

Aah well Geoff, we can't all have delightful names can we eh?

Wish I had a Honda gennie though ;-)

Good for you men, I love the Aussie sense of humour!!

Geoff.

Thanks hoyks, will ring them also thanks for the info. Regards Steve M

Not in a hurry but will be away that weekend bugger it, I believe there is a fish n tackle show on this weekend at rosehill but havnt heard anything about it. Regards Steve M

Hi there meandet, we usually only camp in private areas, have never camped in a caravan park, if I'm there first then I will set up and run the gennie just to recharge batteries and the like and we usually run it at night while cooking to run the fluro light, other than that we dont use it any other time unless it's absolutely needed, eg 40c day and the fridge is working ot then I will run the fridge off it as well to save the car battery for at night. I always think of others when we are camping but its usually some one that gets there after me that wants to set up camp on top of you,dont get me wrong I like to meet as many people as possible when we are out and about and usually enjoy other peoples company, but if they set up camp on top of me then start to make the noise then they cop it, but I get your point, some people have no consideration for other people. Regards Steve M

Stephen,
I've put a lot of effort lately into real world measurement of discharging batteries via fridges in particular and lights etc, as an aside. I've also carried it over into charging via vehicle alternators and charging via generator supplied 240 Volt battery chargers.
What have I learned?
To be honest if you want to create the lowest amount of noise for the shortest period of time get yourself a really good quiet generator and the biggest 3 or 4 stage battery charger you can afford!
Why? Quite simple really, the 3 or 4 stage charger at say 30 Amps is as good as about a 120 Amp vehicle alternator. Big statement that one!! How do I back it? The specialised charger is actually that, specialised, it’s designed to optimise battery charging whereas the alternator is designed to replace the short burst of starting current.
What happens with a really good smart charger is exactly that, smarts. It puts back exactly what the battery needs at the rate the battery can handle. It's optimised to battery charging.
Whereas the vehicle alternator just follows a generic vehicle manufacturer’s generic idea of what a generic battery requires achieving something approximating a charge.

So if people actually knew what was going on they’d accept solar first, generators as the best of the rest and look down on vehicle engines as a true pain in the posterior.

Geoff.
