    Would a 1500 watt inverter be too much to connect directly to the 12V battery? I’m envisioning using this during a power outage to keep the fridge running and some lights. I’ve seen some recommendations for 1000 watts max for inverters for older gens and didn’t know if that would apply to the 4th gen. I sure wouldn’t want to blow my fusible link in the middle of a natural disaster.
