Also, if there is a charging circuit, it's not obvious in the schematic
diagrams. If there is the requisite 240VAC to ~15VDC "charger", that's
not obvious in the machine either - as the control circuitry is pretty
simple (one small circuit board for the entire generator).

So, while I "doubt" that the battery is charged by a power supply
connected to the 240VAC (or even the 120VAC half), the question deserves
a definitive answer, which I will get from Generac and report back.

I can't say about yours, but of all things I bought a 5 kw generator several
years ago that has a nicad type battery. It came with a wall cube type
charger that I have to plug into the wall to give a slow charge to that
battery.

I had another 5 kw generator that would not start so that is the reason for
the other one. Finally got it started as the carborator was gunked up. As
I never started or put gas in the new generator , I just took the battery
out of the generator and put it in storage. I do charge it every so often
from the wall cube.
