I was under the notion that inverter generators had some sort of momentary storage (e.g. large capacitor) that allow for the increased draw in current until the engine could rev up to the needed supply requirements.
Is that incorrect?
My understanding is that "large capacitor" is the genset's battery. I read this in an inverter generator forum. Yamaha was the first to add the stored power of the 12v battery to overcome short duration startup power surge needs for starting AC units, etc.
the 2000i doesn't use a battery, i would bet on the capacitor theory
