Hello, I have a hope is not a stupid question. Can you connect a 12 volt pure shine inverter to the 12 volt output on this generator for running sensitive electronics?
The Sportsman 2000 surge/starting and 1400 running watts @10 amps. The 12 volt DC battery charger is only rated at 8 amps so if you multiply 12 volts times 8 amps you'll get 96 watts. If the inverter is over 96 watts then your over the 12v @ 8 amp rating and that will ruin the generator 12 volt DC circuit or the whole electrical circuit including the AC 120 volt, 10 amp output. if you want to know how many amps the inverter will need just divide the watts by the voltage. 300 watts inverter divided by 12 DC volts output = 25 amps to power the inverter. 500 watt inverter divided by 12 DC volts = 41.666 amps to power the inverter. 12v * 42 amps = 504 watts. To power a 500 watt inverter you would need at least a 50 amp battery.
No offense, so many are so sensitive over the pure sin wave power trend. I've ran this so called dirty power non inverter generators for years before quiet inverter generators came out. I've ran all kind of sensitive electronics on this so called dirty power never burned anything. I bought a portable inverter dual fuel 2200 generator the whole inverter generator (inverter died) after only 6 months. Inverter generator ran but would not make any power over load light just kept coming on immediately!!!
How do u like it? Harbor freight has a 700/900peak for $90 but this has double watts, 2 plugs and is $150 on amazon. Considering gettting this one now that i found it.

@Kansas you don't need to run an inverter for sensitive electronics you could just run them off the generator with a surge suppressor.

Dude why is the BBQ grill near the generator? That is dangerous.
Where do you add the oil?
