  • Use a dry cell air craft battery... Mine has lasted eleven years and still works like the day I bought it.. worth the extra 80.00

  • @unitedstatesdale thanks I'll look into them. I believe one of the factors shortening the life on mine is the heat . seems like the battery fails sooner when the unit has had a several extended runs over a year.

  • How often do you have power outages?

  • not frequent, couple times a year. ...but only 1 is it takes to have a flooded basement. the transfer switch can be seen in my video Sump Pump - The Movie part 2 at 2:07

  • When you can please do another video with it under load and all covers in place.

  • sure

see all

  • OH awesome you made a vid of this. Sheesh, all of these vids, i'm just noticing were made in 2008, I need to pay more attention. lol

  • @GOSAULS it cranks pretty fast normally, it also "eats" batteries. they don't last too long, I suspect from being overheated if the unit runs for several hours a few times, especially in the warm weather. I replace the battery every couple years to be safe. ...still cheaper than a flooded basement.

  • Yes most definately a refinish is needed. Winco wants over 800.00 for a new housing. ...that ain't gonna happen! I'll call 1-800-GENERAC at that point.

  • Maybe you can sand off the rust, use some red rust primer and then give it a nice finish coat of new paint sometime. Some of the newer (other brand) generators come in aluminum cases now. Bye Bye rusty mess.
