Re: [Electric Boats] Inverter Duty versus Standard Duty Generators

 

The noise is really important in an anchor.. Level in decibels Typical everyday example Times louder than 10dB 10dB Rustling or falling leaves. 1 20dB Watch ticking. 10 30dB Birds flying by. 100 40dB Quiet conversation. 1,000 50dB Louder conversation. 10,000 60dB Quiet traffic noise. 100,000 70dB+ Louder traffic 1,000,000 80dB+ Loud highway noise at close range 10,000,000 85dB Hearing damage after approximately 8 hours. This gives you an idea of the difference between the Honda and the cheaper ones..

My question is in regard to, is the inverter duty really needed to operate the chargers that we use? I understand that there may be some benefit with regard to noise. However, just looking at Northern Tools, they offer a lot of portable non inverter duty generators for a lot less money then the Hondas but are rated around 60dB.
