Charging an External 12V Battery
▲ When working with a battery, read and comply with all Battery Safety Alerts and warnings.
While the generator is running, the DC receptacle can be used to charge an external 12V lead acid battery.
!
▲ Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle’s ground
battery cable. Reconnect the vehicle’s ground battery cable after the charging cables are removed. This
procedure will prevent the possibility of a short circuit and sparks if you make accidental contact between a
battery terminal and the vehicle’s frame or body.
▲ Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with the generator still connected to the battery. The
generator may be damaged.
▲ Make sure you match the positive charging cable to the positive battery terminal. Do not reverse the
charging cables or serious damage to the generator, the 12V starting battery, or personal injury may occur.
To charge an external 12V battery:
1. Start the generator and let it run for a few minutes to reach its normal operating temperature.
2. Connect the two charging cables to the corresponding positive and negative battery terminals.
!
▲ To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, always connect to the battery terminals rst ( A ),
and then connect to the generator ( B ).
3. On the control panel, connect the T-style end of the charging cable to the DC receptacle.
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the charging cable from the generator, then disconnect from the battery.
