Hi All,

A mate has just given me an old but working 2/ generator, one of those
sold in the sheds and such under several brand names, mine is a Cosmo,
like this:

I've only been given the genny wondered if the DC outlet is any form
of 'std' and if so where to get a mating plug please? [1]


It is a nominal 12V, intended for charging car (type) batteries. I believe
rated at 8A.

However, on measuring mine, it was just 12V (off load) so I doubt it would
be much good for charging a car battery.

Not all of the many versions have this DC output.


Also anyone know if here is an operators and / or service manual out
there anywhere (just out of interest, there isn't much to know to use
it as such).
