This dual-purpose design combines portable AC power with battery charging capability.

Question 4

Can the DEWALT DCB1800B be used indoors?

Accepted Answer

The DCB1800B operates from DEWALT battery packs rather than gasoline, so it does not produce the fumes or carbon monoxide associated with gas-powered generators.
