Right, I overlooked that. Now how does one convert AC amps to DC amps? I suppose there is also a certain efficiency loss inherent to the transformer to account for as well.
I should eventually figure this out so I can put the right size circiut breaker in the end.
I guess the other bad thing about 240 is that I can't use my Killawatt to see how much power was used. It was great being able to see the total power use of the electric motorcycle by plugging the charger into the Killawatt.
I suppose I can still do that will a lower amp 120V on-board charger. That would at least get me in the ballpark for measuring power use.
