Can I use this directly with a generator, and use it to charge my AGM 155ah battery?

Yes you can . I use it with a generator to keep the agm battery charged in my race car. Thank you

Yes, it charges slowly though if you have a battery bank. I would have rather bought a unit with more amps.

Does the generator have a plug in on it? Cause if u have a 110 or 220 outlet this will work no matter what... as long as u can plug it in. And it will charge about any battery. I have charged car batteries and I charge an array of deep cycle batteries with it. 155ah and 90ah

The Schumacher SSC-1500A-CA charger can be operated from a generator that produces Standard U.S. house hold current. As some generators can produce harmonics during startup, it is recommended to wait a few minutes after start up before plugging in the charger.This charger would be suitable for use with a single 155 amp hour AGM battery using the recommended amp output selection of 15 amps.

Hi Chas,Sorry for the delay, I could not log in to Amazon for weeks.The blower works with any DC12V source capable to provided the amperage required to drive the motor.I would however not connect it to the battery directly because of the power consumption of the motor, that may drain your battery if you forget to switch it off.Therefore my recommendation is to connect the blower to a switched and fuse protected circuit that only powers up when the generator charges the battery.I hope this helps.TT2648

Depending on what else u run with generator , it does not require many amps when running . A 3kw will be fine Maybe a lil surge when u first plug it in

Yes according to reliance, you can use this as long as your generator has the standard 30 amp outlet plug that matches this cord. The reliance website lists this cord under accessories and lists it for max 7500 running watts. You should have a 30 amp breaker on your generator where this plugs in, according to reliance this limits the output of the generator to 7500 watts (30 amps times 250 volts = 7500 watts) so it is my understanding that if you were to draw more than the 7500 watts the cord is rated for the breaker would trip so this cord would be fine assuming you have a 30 amp breaker on the generator outlet where this cord plugs in.

Yes! The generator isn't hooked up permanently but this set up is hardwired next to your service panel. This is supposed to allow a safer and more efficient power switch to your backup power supply. I ordered a long cable so I could run from the panel all the way through my house to the outside of our garage.

I purchased one of these controls and when my electrician came and saw it he told me to send it back. He said that to get any real benefit from it you would have to watch it all of the time. But, to answer your question it should work fine. You can only draw the wattage that your generator can produce from the main breaker. I have a Westinghouse 7500 watt with 9000 watt peak voltage and it would have worked fin with it. The main breaker on my generator is 30 amps.

Sorry can't help you. I researched this generator for possible use for emergency backup power for my house. I found little info on the web or no assistance from the company (which was hard to locate) on particulars for this item. As a result I didn't purchase. It didn't look like a quality piece of equipment. Good luck with your unit.

No, but make sure your charger charges this AGM battery with the proper voltage. AGM batteries require voltage of slightly over 14 volts

Yes. Just slide it through the square hole in the generator. Should be fine

yes, i use my honda generator to charge the battery every other day at the cabin, works good

No. Not with this cable. Most generators produce 240V 30 amps when using both sides of the generator(electrical side, not physically). 240V 30amps uses special plug (the L14-30 plug) which plugs directly to your house or RV. This cable splits it to two 120V 15amp. This way you can plug regular appliance/electronics.

just look at the rating on the box. I'm using a smaller generator, and it works fine. BTW, there is a similar unit from the same company rated for 7000 watts (7kw), if you need to go larger. The box is the same size I think, but the connector arrangement is probably different, to handle more amperage. Good luck!

Yes, I bought this battery for precisely that purpose. It starts the generator just fine.

It does work well for portable generators, note that you will need to by and attach the appropriate connectors. The wires are stranded pure copper.

On my generator, there is a plug on the panel to plug the charger into. I found this did not work very well. I purchased a tender/charger like this one: Deltran Battery Tender (021-0128) 1.25 Amp Battery Charger and attached it to the generator's battery. This type of charger allows you to leave the charger attached so the battery is always ready to go. Ellis

Yes, it will work based on Generac generator battery charger cross-model applicability. Nice to have the electric start option available when needed versus having to pull start, you just have to make sure the battery is charged (preferably overnight) prior to the event it is needed for. Glad I got it for mine. Hope this helps.

No, J.R., really, nothing "technical" about it. It's a four prong L1430 plug that connects toyour xp4400E L1430 4 prong plug that splits into two (2) count-em-TWO 120v plugs that allow you to use both "sides" of your generator. Each 120v plug can be used for up to 1750 watts. Check the reviews, especially from RJ and Ernie the Wireman.... The "other" plug you asked about is a 3-prong-plug.... It won't work..... Be sure you flip the 120/240v switch to 240.... YES, 240... The Y adapter splits that into two 120v plugs.....
