BATTERY ASSEMBLY

WARNING: READ THE BATTERY LABEL FOR SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE WORKING ON THE BATTERY.



The battery assembly consists of the battery, the battery tray, the battery clamps, and the battery cables. The battery is a conventional, low maintenance type, 12 volt 48 amp-hour battery. There is no built-in hydrometer.

The battery provides energy for the starter system and acts as a voltage stabilizer for the electrical system. When the electrical system load exceeds the generator output, the battery can also provide extra power for a limited time.
