is it safe to plug my laptop and phone into my wen inverter generator? i'm worried about frying them.

— asked by Chloe

Yes, it is designed specifically for that purpose. The inverter technology produces a clean sine wave with less than 0.3% total harmonic distortion at no load and less than 1.2% at full load. This stable power is safe for sensitive electronics.

  • You can use the two standard 120V three-prong receptacles for laptop power bricks.
  • You can use the dedicated 5V USB port on the control panel to charge phones or tablets directly.

IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If a device isn't receiving power, first ensure the generator is running and the Eco-Mode switch is OFF for startup. Then, verify you are not overloading the unit. The maximum continuous output is 1600 watts. Add up the wattage of all connected devices; the total must be below 1600W.

HEADS UP: The generator has built-in overload protection which will shut off output if you exceed its capacity, protecting your devices. Always plug devices in after the generator is running, and turn them off before stopping the generator.
