My last post on this subject and i did do a sort of search and didn't find my answer and i thought I'd ask you guys rather than the guys trying to sell me these things (as i always need to correct them when they quote specs to me so god knows i'm not going to trust them with an operational question).
Q - (easy yes or no) - with the smallish generators, typically the better made brand name ones, can you run the 240v function at the same time as the 12v charging function ? And if so, the obvious consequence I suppose is it just uses more power and a little more noisy yes?
thanks

G'day Porl
I have a honda EU20i, it has the facility to run the 240v and 12v at the same time, no difference in the noise or running of the gennie, depending of what is plugged in of course. Also we had a $98 GMC at
bathurst last year and i am sure it did it as
well, but more noise than the honda.
cheers
