Charging the 12V Battery
The generator does not have to be running to back-charge the battery, and there are no special control panel
settings to enable the battery to charge.
▲ Do not use a battery charger that exceeds 12V 5A, which may cause the battery to swell and burst
leading to personal injury and property damage.
▲ To prevent over-charging, use a battery charger with an automatic shut-off feature.
