Just installed the SpartanStart on my Dometic Penguin II 13.5K BTU AC and WOW – what a difference! My Honda 2200i generator used to groan like a dying walrus during startup. Now? Smooth as butter.

Installation took 15 minutes tops. The wiring was idiot-proof (red-to-red, blue-to-blue, etc.), though I did use my own heat-shrink connectors instead of the included crimps. Pro tip: Keep your AC's manual handy for wiring confirmation.

Before SpartanStart: 49.5A scary inrush current. After: 21.3A! My generator doesn't even break a sweat anymore. Bonus? The compressor sounds like it's whispering sweet nothings instead of impersonating a jackhammer.

The double-sided tape mounting feels sketchy – I might drill proper holes later. But for now, it's surviving Arizona's 115°F rooftop temps like a champ.

Game changer for boondocking. Finally running AC on propane mode without generator tantrums. Worth every penny!
