[RE-wrenches] Hercules generators

[Christopher Freitas]

Theses are capacitor excited generators - so I would consider them to be
mid-grade quality - not equivalent to an inverter type generator.  

We have seen good compatibility with capacitor excited generators in
off-grid applications - but I would not expect it to work with the
OutBack grid-tie units.

Hello Wrenches,

Is anyone familiar with the Hercules generators that are powered by 
Honda and Diahatsu / Vanguard engines?

http://www.gohonda.com/Multi-fuel/index.html

Some of these look pretty good.  I'm not familiar with the Diahatsu / 
Vanguard engine, but the Honda is a known, reliable engine.  Would 
you put these units in the category of Honda, rather than Generac?

Thanks,
