Sorry I assumed that your 8KW unit charges the same as my 7KW unit.
Apparently it does not.

I like how yours works better than how mine does.

Does yours also "exercise" itself once a week for about 20 minutes?

Mine does that, ostensibly, to keep the battery charged, among
other things.


Mine does a weekly exercise lasting about 13 minutes. The transfer switch is not tested nor is the generator put under load, so the exercise mostly is about the engine starting and running.
