[TenTec] emergency back up power

[Ben K8DIT]

There's no problem getting any power from gensets and batts. to drive your 
120Vac gear especially if theyre of the newer sine wave inverter genre. The 
Centurion using 220Vac is a bit off the current price point sweet spot.
Honda is coming out or has already introduced a 6.5kw inverter sine wave 
genset that provides 230Vac which is what you'd need for just the Centurion, 
or any tube amp using that kind of power. Portability is limited with this 
generator as it weighs 253lbs. but comes with a 2-wheel cart frame. The 3k 
generator weights over 120lbs while the 2k and 1k are far more portable.

The easier solution is to find a solid state amp that will use 12Vdc and use 
an AGM type battery in the 200-300 A/H range with a smart charger running 
off 120Vac.
