Overview
The 201319 is Champion's electric-start version of its 4,500 W dual-fuel inverter, and the model Amazon now sells where the recoil-start 201531 is no longer listed. It makes 4,500 starting and 3,500 running watts on gasoline (3,150 running on propane) from a 212 cc engine, with clean power under 3% THD. Outlets are a 120 V 20 A duplex, a 120 V 30 A TT-30R RV outlet and a 12 V DC outlet. Champion states 61 dBA from 23 feet and up to 14 hours at 25% load on gasoline or 21 hours on propane. CO Shield automatically shuts the engine off if it detects unsafe CO levels, and Champion is explicit that this is not a substitute for a CO alarm.
Variant note: 201319 electric-start dual-fuel inverter with CO Shield. Distinct from the 201531 (recoil start, indexed separately), the 201318 RV Ready, the 201324 wireless remote start and the open-frame 201321.
Data note: All core and safety fields from Champion's product page. Tank listed as 2.25 gal in the spec table (2.3 in the description); 2.25 recorded. The Amazon listing agrees on 4500/3500 W, 99.2 lb, 23.2 x 17.7 x 20.1 in, 212 cc and 2.25 gal, but also contains rows from a smaller Champion inverter that are ignored. CARB status not stated (null). Overload protection not stated (null).
Specifications
Running and starting watts are never collapsed; every runtime figure carries its fuel and load basis; THD is shown only when officially stated numerically. Core values' original claims and sources are in the provenance table. The final group is computed from the fields above and marked as derived.
