generator a few minutes ?
whats the difference in running the generator for 10 minutes
and those people who drive the car to the corner store for a 6 pack
or the scooter or motorcycle or atv
most genset problem arise from NOT enough use
not from being used for a few minutes at a time
i run the genset for (2) hours in the morning for breakfast coffee and battery recharge, then it gets to rest until lunch, run 30 minutes, rest until supper
run approx (2) hrs for dinner and evening top off
then the batteries work all night until breakfast
