    Does it have a battery charger/maintainer? Just curious. I bought one for mine, but don't stayed plugged in. I figured with a hurricane coming, I'll plug in - only when I'm home. I jump start it with the truck on occasion.

    Mine is a Generac just like Bruce's. It has a charging circuit to keep battery charged when it does it's weekly test run. I will go out and just fire it up and let it run for 30 minutes about once a month to make sure it stays charged.

    Bruce, my installer explained to me that you can get an adapter for the flex line that will hook to a propane bottle. He said it will run good on propane but not have quite the power as NG. Be a real rare occasion to loose natural gas, but could happen in a bad flood given the right circumstances.

    Don't know....have not even started reading all the paper work yet....but, I don't think so.....he did say they recommend replacing the battery every two years.....good thought Randy.....now you got my gears turning.....

    The reason I asked was not to elicit a smart response from a mod! It was genuine curiosity, In the unfortunate event of a really bad storm I would think gas service could be interrupted.... certainly not an issue the vast majority of the time.

    When Hugo strolled through Charleston we were without power and gas for more than 10 days.....
