There have been quite a few threads over the years regarding AC converters and attempts to run microwaves, or whatever off the auxillary battery. Overall, the general consensus is, if you want that type of power get a small Honda generator (i.e. a quiet generator). Periodically, Dennis, or someone else puts in how the large RVs do it (series of golf cart batteries. Okay. Fine. What I'd like is an autostart generator (but quiet like the Hondas) that will sense when my auxillary battery is getting low and automatically start up to recharge it....and then, when it is charged, shut down. Called it a hybrid generator. :) Okay, I'm likely dreaming that this small generator would be portable and self starting (with appropriate signal capability.) It's Friday somewhere, right? (Well, New Year's Day, at least somewhere....) |
