This is estimated via the power: ("Volt x Ampère = Watt"), so the charging power at 2A and 36V DC is approx. 72 Watt. Let it be an estimated 100-120W due to conversion losses or efficiency of the charger. That is still less than the 150W that your inverter can deliver. The type plate of all three charger variants (2A, 4A, 6A) can be found in the operating instructions (a bit of googling...). The following values are given for the Compact Charger (2A): Input: 100-240V, ~50/60Hz 1.6A Output: 36V = 2A If the charger were to reach 1.6A at 240V, it would "draw" approx. 380W of power. With a maximum output of 72W, the charger would have to "burn up" more than 300W - that would be a nice heater, the plastic housing would soon be soft as butter. The 1.6A on the input side must refer to operation at 100/110V, and would then correspond to approx. 160W. Compared to the 72W on the output side, that's still an astonishing amount. So: The charger cannot "draw" much more power than "goes out" (efficiency is another factor).

I ride a Cannondale Moterra SE with Bosch Performance Line CX and Powerpack 500. For longer one-day tours I take a second Powerpack 500 battery with me, which is unfortunately not a cheap option. For multi-day tours, I also take the charger (charging time approx. 7 hours for one battery!).
