Thanks for this. I missed the part where I had to connect the battery. Was driving me nuts.

I want to SINCERELY thank you for this video. My unit came without a charger, so I removed the battery and added a lead for a float charger (instead of the wall unit). After charging, it wouldn't start without pull-starting it...thought I had a defective genset or bad on/off switch...OMG...THX...I did not see this in the instructions. Works as it should now... 😂 I see this is a common oversight...I have bought quite a few generators, this was the 1st inverter genset - and I TOTALLY missed this in the instructions...

"You're welcome" is right! Some problem here, and of course your solution worked. This little tidbit isn't in the instructions. For context, I have the same generator and purchased it at Costco in 2023. There are a couple little weird things about this particular generator package at Costco (another is that there is an included DC car-battery-charging cable which isn't documented anywhere). However, it was an excellent price and therefore quite worthwhile as long as people figure out to make this electrical connection to the internal battery.

Yes, that is where mine came from and i swear that the cable being disconnected wasnt in the instructions but i very well could have missed it....

Yep, same here . Bought mine a year ago . Just tried it now . Finally got it started after 25 mins of adjusting carb screw ( straight out of the box ) Followed your advice and got the push button to work . Can't believe something so obvious isn't mentioned on the initial instructions. Just need to figure out the remote start . If I knew how much of a pain in the arse this thing is , I wouldn't have bought it .

This is not in the instructions manual. Also, looked at replacing the battery, but has anyone looked at how the cables are connected. Replacement is going to be unbelievably difficult.

Thank you. I was ready to throw this sob into the dump. The worst part is that I started my journey with the inst book. The quick start I find after all is done has that as the number two item. 😅 Thanks again. 8/5/24

what is everyone doing about replacing the stock battery? all the replacement batteries I see don't have the same style connectors. I would prefer to keep the factory connectors and terminals.

Good question....i'm sure there has to be one out there with the same connectors. If you find it or have already, share the model number and manufacturer. Good luck!

Mine came with the charger but details on it are Made in China by siyuan Model EC12 Input 100-240Vac 50-60Hz 0.8A Medium size barrel plug. Not sure where it would be available. Maybe from firman themselves if you can find it.
