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.
Very easy to get a definitive answer. Connect your volt meter. What
is the reading??? Above 12.2 volts??? then it is being charged without
the engine running.
I thought a full charged was 12.6 volts.
Did you mean to type 13.2?

Yes, 13.2 12.6 is the theoretical open circuit voltage of a lead acid
battery, but some alloys are slightly higher. 12.7 or 12.8 is quite
common on a searled recombinent absorbed glass mat battery. Any kind
of charge at all will wxcede 13.2 volts.
