No. We had this at work for our server. The battery backup needs to be a special one if using with a generator. We had to buy one that was around $2500 to make it work and protect the components of the server.

This is really a question for APC. How the UPS responds depends on the power quality from the generator. The UPS could trigger battery mode if the generator power quality is poor. Having said that, the UPS may help to clean up the power from the generator. In past power outages I have used my generator to charge batteries. Never given the THD level a thought but, my generator has a low (<5%) THD rating and with over 100 hours of use hasn't zapped anything.

Not suitable for a generator, but can be used for laptops and TV. It also has USB ports for phones etc. Hope this helps!

As JimS replied, it might serve to cleanup power going out of the generator, but using it to power or charge a generator would probably not work well.
