Onan Gold 5500 Hz

How do I measure the hz on my generator? I am trying to track down why my Heart Inverter/Charger goes over temp after running for awhile and the batteries are not hot.
  • Cheap-o-way, plug in a AC clock. Should run 60 min in one hour on 60 hz. Use a stop watch - 60 sec in one min.
  • You measure frequency (measured in Hertz, or Hz) with a frequency meter, funnily enough. Higher end multi-meters sometimes have a frequency setting. Not sure where you can actually buy one.
