[QUOTE="condor22, post: 235960, member: 1932"] Agreed, most 12 volt devices, i.e. Fridge, TV, Stereo, should be run from a Deep Cycle battery. A Generator should then be used to charge the battery using a separate 240VAC charger, preferably a smart charger. If there is a "spike" from the genny a good quality charger will absorb the spike or at the most blow its fuse. In simple terms, the charger outputs electronically regulated DC volts and amps, which the battery absorbs, eliminating any "bad" power going to your device. The 12 volt output of a genny (including Honda and Yamaha) is exactly that a 12 volt power supply, it will not "properly" charge a 12 volt battery. [/QUOTE]
