I have to go back to the generator to disable it or it will drain the start battery down.
Have you tried replacing the battery? I leave mine turned on several days at a time and it has no problem starting when I press the button on the remote.
Regardless, I'm not going to trust it starting after 9 hours while we're overnight boondocking. That made for a difficult morning before my morning coffee. I had to unhitch the FW, unstrap the genny to move it enough to clear the pull cord, start it (that was the easy part) and put it all back together.
Something I did discover is the generator charges the small AGM battery to 13.8V max. The old battery went to 13.8V almost immediately and stayed there whereas the new one slowly ramps to 13.8V but the charger doesn't go any higher. That seems to be a bit low and slow for an AGM charger to me. I guess that's fine for long run times but we run it maybe 30 minutes at a time. I'm thinking I don't run it long enough to adequately recharge between starts.
