I didn't check the size of the battery box so don't know if two 92Ah will fit. Also the weight on the pinbox needs to be taken into account.
I'll go for 2 and see how that goes!
Thanks come in very handy to keep fridge running all day and night. Even watch a little TV while ON at Wally World!

I would not consider a new old stock Honda 2000i (unless it is a good used unit). The new replacement Honda 2200i (same price as Honda 2000i) and outputs 2000 watts continuously and peaks at 2200 watts. The old Honda 2000i only outputs 1700 Watts continuous.

I would also buy the Honda 2200i Companion model FIRST as it is already configured with everything you need to parallel with a Honda 2200i or Honda 2000i (certain serial numbers) right out of the box.
My understanding is that you can not parallel any generators of different watts. The Honda 2000i can not be paralleled with the 2200i. I have the 2000i and the companion. It states in the manual not to do it. Just FYI stuff.

Not necessarily true. The 2200i series may be compatible with the older 2000i series provided the 2000i's fall in the correct serial number range.

My 2000i Companion is paralleling fine with a 2200i Standard unit.
