Power & Run Time

The Champion 201154

The Champion 201154's engine, 212 cc OHV 4-stroke, fueled by gasoline, can deliver 120V. It provides a running wattage of 3,650W and reaches a peak wattage of 4,650W. In addition, the parallel capability (ParaLink (opens in a new tab) not included) empowers increasing of power output when linked to another similar or compatible unit, ensuring expanded energy capacity and reliability for various applications.

Operating with a noise level of 61 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office), the inverter generator starts up via a conventional pull-start mechanism. Champion’s EZ Start Dial lets you intuitively start the engine with easy access to all the controls you need.

With a fuel capacity of 2.3 gallons, the 201154 can run for up to 14 hours when the tank is full (fuel consumption is approximately 0.16 gallons per hour).

The 201154 produces a clean sine wave: thanks to a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), your sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel features 3 AC outlets as follows:

Moreover, it comes equipped with 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle making battery charging a breeze. Since a dual port USB adapter is also included with the unit, you will be able to use the DC receptacle to conveniently charge electronics such as mobile phones and tablets.

Featuring a TT-30R receptacle (TT for 'Travel Trailer'), this Champion generator is RV Ready, designed specifically for use with recreational vehicles.

Portability

With its enclosed inverter generator design (L23.2 x W17.7 x H20.1 in), the Champion 201154 offers superior aesthetics and operates with minimized noise levels, distinguishing itself from standard, open frame generators. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.

With a dry weight of 95 lbs, the 201154 can easily follow you wherever your power needs are. Furthermore, with its set of 2 wheels (⌀5") and its folding handle, you can easily relocate the generator once it's set up.

Features

The 201154's control panel

To help you monitor the 201154's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with a digital Intelligauge data center, giving you information on the frequency, power output, lifetime run hours and voltage.

The inverter generator includes a built-in fuel gauge, a quick, easy and convenient method of checking the device’s gas level.

From a security standpoint, the product offers an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, allowing you to use it with a peace of mind.

The unit also benefits from the CO Shield™ technology, which monitors accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) gas produced by the engine's exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield™ detects elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine and illuminates a red LED.

Apart from the typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), which lets you start it right away, the Champion 201154 also is packed along with the following accessories: tool kit, funnel, oil and dual port USB adapter.
