Old & Slow,
I have the Genny in question and the manual states....The DC terminal may be used to operate 12 Volt DC portable appliances only.
CAUTION! Do not use this generator
to charge 12VDC batteries. Directly charging a 12 Volt battery may cause the battery to overheat and possibly explode.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with this generator. Voltage back feed from the alternator may damage the generator.

Hmmm, That is truly interesting info' I had never noticed a wiring diagram of a Chinese genset showing the 12vac coming from the main windings and then through a diode to the 12vdc outlet recpt' Thanks JC for giving us the live link to the HF Chinese genset.
