Translation: The battery goes dead when the unit sits.
So far, I can deal with the pull start on the champion, but I don't know that my wife will be able to should the need the arise during power outages and such.
My Onan Homesite 6500 has electric start, but I've never used it. It has close to 4000 hours on it since I purchased it after being without power due to Hurricane Rita. The 13 HP engine is a strong tug on this 64 year old body, but luckily one pull does it. Maybe one of these days I will buy a battery, when the shoulder finally gives out.
