Think I should charge my laptop off of my Honda 1000i without any additional protection?

The Honda and Yamaha generators are really cool, high tech units. They
are well built but the real advantage is in the electronics. I have
experience with the Hondas. The Honda units are actually generator
powered inverters. The output is always 60 Hz, and clean. The engine
will actually change speed to support the required load. At idle, they
are almost silent. The really cool thing is that they can be linked
together. Have a 2000 and need more. If someone else at the campground
has, connect the two and have 4,000 watts. This is one of those areas
you get what you pay for.

 RE: Generators
Speaking of generators, does anyone yet have any experience with the
new,
compact generators coming from China, the Honda clones?  Rumor has it
that
even some of the parts are interchangeable with the Hondas.  And the
price
is substantially below.
