Default Question about Chicago Electric Generator

Hi Everyone,


I'm looking at picking up a Chicago Electric Generator Model# 97906
from Harbor Freight to run a few things around the hose incase of a
power outage, but I was wondering about the 12V Battery Charging
Socket. *Could I run any 12-volt item, specifically a 2m amateur
radio, from this, or is it designed specifically for charging a
battery and nothing else? *I've read through the manual online -
http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals...999/97906.pdf- and it
just mentions using it for a battery ... but it'd be nice to use this
for my radio as well.


Just checking...


Thanks,


Alex


It would be totally 0-14 volts 10 volts average, unless its three phase.
Use a battery in parallel.

If it was 0-14 10v average then it wont charge a battery, will it. A
battery charges to 13.3v.
