I think it was Yamaha generator few years ago who offer boost from starting battery for dealing with AC.
They concept vanish from the market, so I assume it was not working too well.
Yamaha still sells the 3000 iSEB model, which uses its starting battery to allow for 500 more watts for eight seconds.
I personally would not bother with the Yamaha model... for half the price, I can get a dual fuel Champion that can put out 3400 watts.
If one wants an exotic (though expensive) solution for running an A/C off a small generator, one could buy a good PSW inverter, and have the A/C pull off that. Inverters can take more load for a brief period of time than smaller generators.
