The factory suggests the 2 hour run time so that everything is warmed

Hank~~~ not smarter than factory engineers

FWIW, my 14Kw Generac generator has a 12 minute test/run cycle per
week...and I think its only at half throttle or so. The battery is on
the built-in maintenance charger and is kept charged by utility power.

I said 2 hours because that is what my manual for the Gnerator in my
motorhome says. Stationary units may differ and probably do depending
in size, type and such.

Personally I think 2 hours is too long and 14 minutes isn't enough. 30
minutes seems about right. :-)
