How to Use a Honda EU2000AI With Another Generator

The Honda EU2000AI generator is capable of connecting to another EU2000AI to double the wattage output. Most generators use a stator and armature to generate power; the EU2000AI uses inverter technology, making the unit very light with a smoother output of energy so you can hook up even the most fragile electronic devices, even laptops. Hooking two of these generators together can be easily done with a kit provided from Honda and takes about 10 minutes to do.
