I have a WEN Power Pro Model 9000 16HP generator. It has a female
funny-looking plug on the side labelled
DC 12V 8.3A

I have never known what this plug is for, nor can I find any info on
it in the manual or via Google. Some has said it is for charging the
generator batery. Could it be so?

If so, what wud the necessary plug/wire thingee be called so's I can
order same. I never saw one in the original box - now long gone.

Thanks

Wei

I'm in a time warp, we had this question yesterday.

I think it's for charging 12 volt car batteries.
The manual (I went and looked in it) doesn't mention
the cord.

I guess he thinks if he starts a second thread in the same place
he'll get different answers from the same people.

My pleasure. The 12 volt socket is so you can
connect a VB-206 diagnostic scope. A factory
trained technician can adjust the sine wave
rectification slope, and also the peak envelope
power output of the generator. This is done
by use of a Field Utility Link Layered Ammeter,
and a Complete Reading Analog Pickup.

Since this is a long name, it's often known
by the acronym, made by the first letters of
the technical terms.

Of course, you might have one of the earlier
generators which is not technician adjustable.
The only way to know is by sinusoidal adjustment
of the ferrites.

How'd I do?

That was beneath you. The guy is legitimately asking for help, though a bit
confused.

You're right. I ought have been more serious. I
don't think he sounds confused, just facing a
new adapter he'd not yet seen.

I'll get back to you. I've got to vacuum the carpets
for the 17th time, today and I'll be away from
the keyboard. Oh, my gallon jug of keyboard cleaner
arrived by UPS, and I had to iron a patch on
the UPS driver's uniform. He keeps yelling some
thing about give me back my trousers, you pervert.
What might that mean?

Is this still beneath me?

I think there was confusion by the poor translation of the manual, including
the erroneous indication of 12 v rather than 12.6v, and NOT charge batteries
rather than ONLY charge batteries. Quite the mistranslation!

Here's the manual:
http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/lis_...M/L0607217.pdf

Page 19, last paragraph
"The generator is equipped with a DC terminal. This terminal is not intended for use to charge automotive batteries"

Page 29, item 6
"DC output receptacle P/N 35513-1"

The plug is p/n 56101-000, not in the manual.
Also used on Model 1001
$9.95 + shipping
(800) 232-1195

PS ---

There is a reason why the cord was not included with the 9000 and the manual specifically says "not for recharging batteries".

Only use storage battery chargers that are specifically designed for recharging storage batteries. This is not one of those "let's see if it works" projects. They really can explode and spash sulfuric acid all over if not handled properly.

-------------

but the cord shown in the manual has battery terminal clamps.

or, maybe this generator manufacturer provides 12V for running 12V lighting
only, that should be the safest load for such a crummy 12v source.

I would just use a 110v battery charger, even if I had to run it off the
generator. That way I could run some other 110v stuff during a power
outage.

Where I used to work, a committee was formed, and I was on it. Topic 1:
what is the defined purpose of this committee?

various responses.

me: NO! The purpose of this committee is to DISBAND THIS COMMITTEE. Let's
get the job done and be done with it.

all agreed.
