20 amps at 12 volts is 2 amps at 120 volts. I could see maybe 4-5 amps at startup, but unless you have 15-18 amps of other loads there is no way that charger should blow a 20 amp 120 volt breaker! Joe Coquina

Interesting, I have a Truecharge2, 20 amp which charges my starting battery. Now that I am hauled and plugged into a 20 amp 120 V plug, it pops the breaker. Is there such a thing as a soft start for a charger, which doesn’t send a surge through when initially turned on? Bill Coleman Erie PA
