    From the Yamaha site:   
   •The Yamaha EF3000iSE and the EF3000iSEB are two of the most   
   technologically advanced inverter generators available. Get that extra   
   “boost” of power to get your power tool or air conditioner started   
   quickly and efficiently thanks to the EF3000iSEB generator from Yamaha.   
   The “B” on EF3000iSEB means it features Yamaha Boost Technology®, which   
   provides additional power when you need it. Perfect for the RV   
   enthusiast, the EF3000iSEB is an ideal source of power for either a   
   fifth wheel or travel trailer. The Boost Control Unit in the generator   
   automatically senses when you need additional boost and uses power from   
   the internal 12-volt battery to produce additional amperage. With the   
   additional 10-second boost, the power is comparable to a conventional   
   3500-watt generator.   
      
   Features:  •Yamaha Boost Technology® (YBT) (EF3000iSEB only) — Boosts   
   output by adding battery voltage to alternator when needed. The Boost   
   Control Unit (BCU) senses when extra power is needed and boosts output   
   for up to 10 seconds, giving air conditioners, power tools, and other   
   equipment the extra boost of power they may need to start quickly and   
   efficiently.
