Power available with a generator 120-130

Matt;

Generators are rated at 30 Amps...but that rating is under ideal test conditions, including elevated RPMs...and doesn't take into account an old vehicle whose connections may have some resistance due to corrosion...

...on the other hand, a cell or GPS charger takes so little power, that as a general rule, it wont be an issue adding these practicly miniscule loads to a generator powered system.

Cheers
