RE: GEN SET - vs - DOCK POWER

The poorer power output (its the area of voltage under the sine wave) not just the peak voltage causes performance of heavily loaded items.

A house fridge will never notice , but a hard working air cond will.

The HW heater might be a bit slower , but the SCUBA compressor will be really working harder.

Some batt chargers do notice and are not able to maintain output voltage.

This is a common problem on non sine wave inverters too.
