<human>: What is the difference between an inverter generator and a traditional generator?
<bot>: The main difference between an inverter generator and a traditional generator is that an inverter generator uses an electronic device to convert DC power from a battery into AC power, whereas a traditional generator converts mechanical energy created by a rotating shaft into electrical energy. Inverters also tend to be more efficient than traditional generators as they can use less fuel to produce the same amount of power. Additionally, inverter generators are often quieter and easier to maintain than traditional generators.
