The issue was that some generators don't make clean power while inverter gens do.
The advantage of an inverter gen is that it can run at low speed when minimal power is required. That reduces noise, pollution and fuel use. The shape of the sine wave ("clean" or not) is dependent on the design of the inverter circuit. Just like we have MSW and PSW inverters, there can be MSW and PSW inverter gens. I'd expect a good inverter gen making a perfect sine wave to work well with all chargers, but other inverter gens producing a different waveform might perform much worse than a non-inverter gen.
