Concerning the use of the macerator, would a gas-powered generator
work? There is a receptacle for 12 VDC, and on the bottom of the
outlet, it appears that the outlet produces 8Amps (designated with 8A).
If this unit works, will it be safer than using the DC power supply
with an automotive battery?
Thanks,
Mark

If the output states "For Battery Charging Only" they tend to 'play' with
the rating.
The macerator will draw large surges (depending on what you ate :-) ). I
would use the battery.

Not the best choice. The generator is underrated for
the load, but even if it wasn't - are you going to
run out and start the generator every time you need
to flush the toilet?
Use the battery!
