    Will it keep a battery charged? Of course it will—if you don’t take more juice out of the battery than the gen puts back in. Running a trolling motor would be a good example.

    People will be quick to point out that the gen "only" puts out 10 Amps. I submit to you that many/most more modern motors only put out 5 or 6 Amps. But of course the other side of the argument is that the gen puts out nothing at idle.
