Does A Generator Charge Its Own Battery. The generator reported a wiring problem. Correct any that are low.
The generator is made for emergency power for conventional house which the charger would be attached to the house wiring to keep battery. Honda generators do charge their battery while the generator is running. Plug the battery charger into the 110-120 volt AC outlet on the generator.
The battery plays a very important part in the generator detecting when the power is out so the engine can start within seconds of the outage.
So essentially the generator does start with the battery. A few days ago it reported low battery. Verify that the battery charger is turned off. The installer came out and replace the battery.
