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

From the specs I've seen so far I think the socket itself might be
rated at that (8A) but I think the genny outputs around 5A.

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

Ok, worth some tests once I find a connector then (or fit an
alternative one).

Not all of the many versions have this DC output.

Ok.


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).

Brilliant, thanks Brian. ;-)
