I’d love to be able to power this 15k btu A/C unit with the same generator with an easy start. After all, upgrading generators is pricey, can’t they can be heavy.
I’ll climb up on the roof tomorrow evening and see if I can find a sticker that gives the wattage, or even amperage.
I’ll let everyone here know what I find.
thanks again,

To see this yourself, go to about the 12 minute mark in MicroAir's video. The high current only lasts a very short time.
