In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.

Power & Run Time

The Champion 201324

With a 212 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, the Champion 201324 operates on gasoline, providing 120V, with a running wattage of 3,500W and a starting wattage of 4,500W. Additionally, as the generator is parallel capable (ParaLink (opens in a new tab) not included), it can be linked to a second unit for more power.

The inverter generator features a simple traditional pull-start mechanism and also a no-fuss and convenient electric starter (battery included). It is rated for a noise of 61 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music). Champion’s EZ Start Dial lets you intuitively start the engine with easy access to all the controls you need. For additional convenience, the 201324 may also be remotely started (key fob included).

The 201324's fuel tank, with a capacity of 2.25 gallons, supports uninterrupted operation for up to 14 hours when fully fueled (fuel consumption at an estimated 0.16 gallons per hour).

Sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets, as the 201324 produces a clean sine wave, with a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 3 AC outlets:

Additionally, it features 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle making battery charging a breeze.

Thanks to its TT-30R receptacle (TT meaning 'Travel Trailer'), this Champion generator is RV Ready, ready to power your recreational vehicle with ease.

Portability

With an inverter generator design, the Champion 201324 features a closed construction (L23.2 x W17.7 x H20.1 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring reduced noise levels, offering a distinct advantage over standard, open frame generators. This modern design aims to provide an ideal power solution to recreational users.

Even though this device may be technically portable (as in movable), manipulation and transportation without special equipment can be a challenge, as it weighs 100.6 pounds. Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its set of 2 wheels (⌀5") and its folding handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.

Features

The 201324's control panel

Embedded in the control panel of the 201324, a digital Intelligauge data center serves as a vital feature, offering comprehensive information on the voltage, lifetime run hours, power output and frequency to aid in monitoring activity and status.

In addition to this info, the device's light indicator will illuminate to indicate if its oil levels are insufficient.

A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the inverter generator.

As for its security measures, the device features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), letting you 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.

In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the Champion 201324 also includes several accessories: tool kit, funnel, key fob and oil.
