Be sure to research your generator because certain models aren’t safe to use with sensitive electronics, like laptops and TVs. The power supply can be inconsistent and surges can cause permanent damage. Generators with inverter technology convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) voltage and then invert it back to clean AC voltage. The “inversion” leads to a constant flow to your devices. Inverter generators are often more expensive, but they are safest to use with sensitive devices.
