[C320-list] Portable Generators

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

The 2000e fits in the aft starboard lazarette shelf nicely...

Never use the dc side of the generator to charge your batteries, it will take forever and you can't use the regulating features of your electric charger.

Also check the size as you will want to store it in one of the lazeretts.
Also make sure it has the DC as well as the AC capability if you want to
charge the batteries directly from the generator
