My friend has just bought a genorator , without an invertor .

we are away this weekend to selkirk rally ,which has no hook up.

im sure i read somewhere that using a genorator without an invertor can cause damage to the zig unit in the van or something like that . can anyone shed any light on this , as im a bit worried about pluging into it to top up the battery , if i need to

yes i read this some time ago,hard to remember but something to do with spikes that can damage circuit boards.
