Which Battery or Batteries start the Generator? - Jack and Liz Pearce - 10-27-2005 05:19 Howdy, Y'all. We have a 15KW PowerTek generator in our 1993 Wanderlodge. Jack would like to know which battery or batteries supply power to the genset in the starting procedure. Is it the house batteries or the engine batteries?

I've had my battery's in and out numerous time's. I've redone the house tray's and also made new hold down tie's for the engine start battery's. I have a full 8 battery house bank and 3 battery engine start bank. Iam in the process now of replacing my house battery's with new one's. What type battery are you using for house deep cycle battery's I want to replace my 8 battery bank. Thank's Bob 93pt.

One thing is a for sure, if you never discharge your battery's over 50%, they will cycle twice as many times.

His portable x-ray units use lead acids exclusively. Do you use your inverter? If so, how long can you run on your inverter before it is necessary to charge your coach's batteries? Thanks, Liz
