I was thinking about buying a EC30W but have some concerns of using it. I have hit the prime button on my Onan generator before I start it.

Will the autostart feature continue trying to start the Generator running the battery down?
The manual says the EC30W will attempt to start the generator for approximately 30 seconds. If it does not start it will wait 30 seconds and try again. It will only do this 3 times.

I do the same thing with my boat motor before I take it to the landing.
