Will a Gas Operated Generator Work?

Aug 21, 2006 2 Replies

Concerning the use of the macerator, would a gas-powered generator work? There is a receptacle for 12 VDC, and on the bottom of the outlet, it appears that the outlet produces 8Amps (designated with 8A). If this unit works, will it be safer than using the DC power supply with an automotive battery?



Thanks,



Mark



If the output states "For Battery Charging Only" they tend to 'play' with the rating. The macerator will draw large surges (depending on what you ate :-) ). I would use the battery.

Not the best choice. The generator is underrated for the load, but even if it wasn't - are you going to run out and start the generator every time you need to flush the toilet?

Use the battery!
