DC Terminals 

 

Some generators are shipped with optional DC battery charging 

cables, have a standard 12V DC receptacle, and have a 12V 

cigarette lighter style outlet.   

 

The battery must be connected to the generator DC terminals 

with the proper polarity (battery positive to generator red termi-

nal and battery negative to the generator black terminal). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not use the 12V DC and the AC receptacles at the same 

time.
