GENERATOR TEMPERATURE

[wanderer]

You've done the right thing by buying one Dirk.
It's like an insurance policy, now you have one you will probably never need it.

G'Day Terry,

Hopefully the generator will get little to no use at all, that's why I went with the el-cheapo ebay version rather than a Honda /Yamaha gen. I regard this one as a throw away rather than a keeper. I'll only use this as a last resort, bad weather type situation. Hopefully the solar and batteries etc. will do the job without use of this generator at all. Well that's the plan but of course......

I know you have the right bateries and you are setting up a good system, I think i'd let the generator get all the outside cooling it can as it's going to be a rare occurance use thing so it would be during the acceptable generator hrs I would assume.
My rant was more for the user who wants to run the generator all night to power the air con so bolts it up in a sound proof box hoping no one will hear it.

I can imagine just how annoying a gen. running at all hours could/would be. Missed your rant though....Lol. Bad enough clowns mowing their lawns early on the weekends or because they want to get away early somewhere. Worse still was when I was on night shift.....grrrrr.... just get to sleep and the friggin mowers start.

Generally if its in a location where its no going to annoy people, out in the mulga somewhere then I would slide it out on its tracks and run it outdoors. As I said its only a last resort. Hell I can / am not allowed to run the a/c at home during the night as the little green light annoys you know who.

When I get it set up and get some readings I'll post it for reference.

put duct tape over the little green light, and if that doesn't work, theres another place it will stop the complaints

I'll tell her now......if you don't hear from me again you will all know....
