Hey All and Happy 4th Weekend!
So heading out on the 4th with a few buddy's on the hook all day and night.....Am going to use the genny to power stuff I need to know if this stuff can all be powered by this generator or if I need to cut the consumption!!
First is a Window A/C like you use at home...Its 5000btu and the label on it says it draws 4.5amps....Is this including startup???
Second is a LCD TV/DVD combo, on the transformer thingy that plugs in it says two things....First it says AC 120V 65w IN, which is what I would be pluging into the Genny, then it says 4.5amp DC OUT, I am not sure which number to use in counting my amps...the 65w or the 4.5amps? I am inclined to thing the 4.5amp.
Third our small Norcold Refridg, not sure about amps but I'm sure someone here will know!
Fourth, I have a Xantrax 20+ Battery Charger...Can I use this as well??
Fifth the cabin/courtesy lights, about 8 15w Halloen bulbs..Not sure of the amp hours, but lets say I were to use them for 8 hours.
Thats it...NOW opinions as to how to set this up...My vision is this....Plugging 1 plug of the genny into the shore power adapter on the boat, using TV off one of the outlets, as well as the Refrig, Court/Cabin Lights and perhaps the Battery Charger to keep them topped off.
Second plug on the genny used for the window AC unit.
PLEASE HELP...what do you think? Possible? What do I need to cut out?
