Can Different Brands of Generators Be Mixed Matched Together to be Used In Parallel

Question:

Hi , I own a gas powered cat Ivn2000 inverter generator. My question is would I be able to hook that up to a different brand inverter generator to get double the power? The cat Ivn 2000 in no longer made

No, generators like the A-iPower 2,000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator # 289-SUA2000i are only going to work when hooked up together if they are the same brand.

Since your current inverter generator is no longer made, your best option is to upgrade your setup with something like the A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators # 289-SUA2000i-2.

This setup includes 2 30 amp adapters, 2 DC charging cables, 2 spark plug wrenches, 2 oil funnels and will produce up to 3,800 watts of power when paralleled.
