900 watts peak, 700 watts continuous. Totally and completely inadequate.
On a positive note: As long as you only run one high draw item at a time, a 1000 watt generator is adequate. Barely. And the converter/charger counts as one of the high draw items if the batteries are not nearly fully charged. To run two high draw items, a 2000 watt generator. Two high draw items means the converter/charger and one other, like the microwave or the air conditioner. Be absolutely sure that the refrigerator and the water heater are set on propane only. Not on auto.
