MAINTENANCE

33

Charge the Battery

For a generator equipped with batteries for electric starting, 
proper battery maintenance and storage should be followed. 
A trickle charger or battery maintainer should be used to charge 
the battery while the generator is in storage. Maximum charging 
rate should not exceed 1.6 amps. Follow the instructions included 
with the trickle charger or battery maintainer. The battery should 
be fully charged at least once per month.

1.  Remove the battery from the generator.

2.  Charge battery following the battery charger’s instructions.

3.  After charging, leave the battery for 0.5 to 1 hour before 

checking the voltage. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, 
additional charging is necessary.

 

NOTICE

Electrolyte inside the battery is harmful to skin and eyes. 
If the battery leaks and electrolyte gets in your eyes, do 
not rub them. Instead, rinse them with clean running water 
and immediately seek medical attention. If left untreated, 
electrolyte can cause permanent eye injury.

 

NOTICE

 

–

Do not charge the battery with charging voltage over 15.0V 
and charging current over 1.6A.

 

–

Do not charge the battery below 32°F (0°C) or above  
113°F (45°C).

 

–

If the battery becomes hot to the touch, stop charging. 
Allow battery to cool before resuming.
