Hi there,

I have just recently purchased a generator for a camping/Mountain biking trip - and we plan to have a few things running off it:

Generator Spec:

1050 Watt
240V Generator Cheap
1.0KVa

Equip:

Hallogen Site Lights 2 x 300w
Laptop ??? (Dell - no wattage on power pack)
Amplifier 100w

Is it just as simple as adding up the watts and making sure i dont go above 1050 - or is there more to factor in?

many thanks,
Neil

yep you've pretty much got it, bear in mind that some equipment draws a lot more power on startup than it does during use (nothing you've listed) so it's always wise to turn things on one by one with a generator

see here for a list of some common things and there power useage for geni's
