generators
anyone know where i can get a generator from? I have spoke to Carl Lathem and he cant get any anymore. Had a look on ebay but I dont trust it. Need one good enough for 2 or 3 chargers.

If you have a costco anywhere near you they do great little ones for about £60, same as the little Wolf ones.
Or B&Q used to do their one little one for £50, again same as the Wolf. |

bit dearer but go for the £150 one its 4 stroke and higher wattage, i have the 2200w one and it powers my small compressor too with any of them i would advise the use of a surge protector. |

I worked out, about 4 chargers, as I run off PSU's
|
How about a psu with a soldering iron, charger, smart tray and laptop?
|
You should get more than 4 chargers I think, we normally have 3 or 4, plus a tele and other stuff charging

Check out your nearest Aldi Store if you have one.
Generators @£49.00 Lindsay;) ;) |
I heard that the kipor ones where really good, about 150 i think.
My question about this lot is, What do people think the power rating in Watts would be if i were to run. 2 chargers, my laptop, soldering iron and a 500Watt heater (for when it gets cold, im from the south you know and its warm down there) ?? Do you think that a 980W would suffice? Ta Danny x |

Danny, Having lived up North for the past few months you should know that we Notherners put cloths on when it gets cold

touch and go with the heater mate, when they get to the rated power they start hunting which on the cheap ones will mean the voltage will be a bit spikey, I wouldn't want to put my laptop on that. Make sure you get a surge protector for defo.
I got a 1000W over the winter for £80 off ebay, 4 stroke. The only thing 'wrong' with it is it's louder than I would like. Tested it on an 800W toaster and you could tell it was bogging a little but did run it. Also Danny, running a 500W heater will use loads of petrol, you'd be better getting a gas heater to be honest! |

danny the kiss is a bit worrying!!
buy a thicker jumper!! most generatoer ratings are peak and not continuous as above rated at 1000 but on its limit for 800w the one i posted would do both for you i prefere 4 stroke as no messing mixing oil and no smoke |
yeh i want a kipor gennie

I am sure that Brian Preddy (Tyreman) knows a good source as he tracked down Ellis' one.
Talking of Ellis, as he is some kind of bod in electrics, he always quotes to me what a certain rated generator can supply in terms of amps, etc... Can't remember though - sorry! With all these generators running next year, staying warm wont be a problem - it will be the fumes!!!! |
