years ago there were some issues with a generator in Alaska that used a capacitive
coupled regulator that didn’t like the way Outback loaded it down when
charging batteries. The only thing that helped was the addition of
a $600 dollar tank circuit that helped but didn’t really fix the problem.

anyone in the off-grid market, in colder climate regions (i'm at latitude 53)
