If you are going to go that route, run your generator and watch/observe the battery and it's platform. Mine vibrates like crazy. I've been thinking about coming up with a different mounting method, possibly remote. I'm concerned that much vibration is going to rattle the guts of the battery apart.
Kentucky Ballistic dude.....watching his videos and saw this. What a piece of shit gun.

Your going to hate it, all the new generators have the O2 sensors and are a pain in the ass to get them far enough away from a structure to run. The older ones are way better as usual.Very impressive.
And while I truly appreciate the time, energy, and dedication that guy put into perfecting that routine, something about it just feels…well, off putting. Can’t put my finger on it though.
My gut’s telling me he’s either gonna win The Medal of Honor…or maybe shoot up a school.
Rules: New backup gennie is put together; took me longer than it should have to get it off the (broken) shipping pallet solo. Will test run it later this week.

I gather mine wasn't done that way because my AutoChoke works fine. That said, I wasn't kidding about breaking the "AC adapter" port on the unit in an emergency. That happened to me. I actually have a replacement part for it (cheap) but the labor and knowledge required to replace is is Herculean. I found a different AC Adapter where I can attach "auto battery like" clamps onto the battery. It works. I just have to not panic and be sure to not get spazy and detach it properly during an outage.
If at some point, I'll need to get it serviced (and the front panel taken off, I'll have them replace the adapter port and supply it to them. Right now, not worth the trouble.

As mine is, presently. I have only the standard black Westinghouse cover for it. It works. I wish I could have the permanent propane tank but, again, that pesky little HOA. Actually, I don't believe it's against the rules, but there would be another Herculean effort not only to pass the HOA rules but the county zoning ordinances as well. I did get an electrician to install the house connector and transfer switch box in the garage. I have my HVAC, computer lines, refrigerator line and some other lines attached.
I think I like the idea of the "trash can" muffler. I can store both in the garage and pull both out into the open (one at a time) when I need to run it. So I get the unit started and then attach the muffler, before it gets too hot. I also have one of those "Zombie Boxes" to help divert the noise:
You have to keep at least one side open for the exhaust. I point that towards my "nasty neighbor" when I need to run it.

Don’t act like you weren’t expecting to pick up that Orc in the bar at 2am
Careful using the factory battery charger cord (looks like it plugs in under your start button). I read the manual AFTER I killed a battery by keeping it plugged in whenever not camping, over the course of 3 years. Says you’re supposed to only keep it plugged in for something like 8hrs a month (maybe less). Who has time to keep track of that?Very impressive.

I have the Westinghouse i4500
I ended up getting a new battery and bought a new battery tender w/ float mode. I connect it directly to the battery with a qd pigtail.
I've thought about plugging the charger into one of these, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
I’ve had really good luck with leaving just about everything with an engine on battery tenders. I have some truck and boat batteries going on 12 and 13 years, no problems.
I screwed up by assuming the Westinghouse had a float mode.
Illegal doesn’t mean impossible
The "normal" lead acid battery is only supposed to last for 6, maybe 7 years.
So yeah, you've been doing real well.
What kind of battery tenders ?
My daughter is 15 so I would be running them off the road and digging an unmarked grave just their size…
Don’t know of it helps your situation but I leave these plugged in on unused vehicles for years with no issues
