RE: generator fan wont run
Hi Al,

My Powertech has an alternator that keeps the battery charged. I don't have any other way to charge the battery but to run the generator. I could be that you haven't run your generator sufficiently to charge the battery, or you have a faulty alternator or voltage regulator, or they sold you a bad battery. When you pick up batteries always take a VOM meter with you and carefully check for 12.6V across the terminals. Open circuit voltage for any new store bought battery should be at least 12.6V. If it's even a smidge less, reject the battery.

My plan (for far too long) has been to install a Xantrex Echo charger to keep the genny charged via the house or chassis battery circuits.
