[QUOTE="condor22, post: 114790, member: 1932"] The most important thing about cheaper generators is this. I noted earlier that a PSW Inverter is more expensive than a MSW one. The same thing can be said of generators, the petrol engine runs a nominal 12 volt generator which then uses an inverter to produce the 240VAC. Honda and Yamaha are pure sine wave, just because the cheaper ones state "Inverter Generator" does not mean it is pure sine wave. Be aware of this when making your choice, because most good smart battery chargers don't play nicely with Modified Sine Wave generators. Next - I have given some thought to a practical example of a bush battery/power supply and have decided to do two. One for caravans and one for camping in a tent. They will be examples, please be aware that there are many different ways of achieving similar results, it depends on individual choice. This will be a few days away as I'll draw the relevant wiring schematics as well. [/QUOTE]
