I've also had this question myself. The only thing that their website mentions is that the voltage has to be of a pure sine wave. Alot of your low end inverters create a modified sine-wave AC voltage. The inverters that AB sells with their battery packs are supposedly of the pure sine wave type. To be honest, I don't know for sure if a portable generator creates this type of sine wave. If you do a search of the model or if you go through your tech data from your generator you should find this info.

I'd be glad to hear what you find out.

Good luck
