Just noting that mine is a 650W Honda 4 stroke.

Also noting that I probably need to check that it can run the freezer
including starting the compressor before I get too heavily into it.

Could end up looking at a 12V battery or two which act as a UPS through an
inverter, giving peak power when needed, and being charged by the genny
all the time (or as required).

Life is never easy.

I doubt if a 650W generator or anything other than a professional grade
hi surge current server rack UPS would be able to power a compressor
motor. The peak current surge to start is very high for a few cycles.
