Thanks for your info on the reason for an Inverter. I just had a short outage and ran a stereo without protection, but I won't do that again. I have a line conditioning box to clean up the signal, so I can stay with my cheaper generator for now. Yes, that easy start is a great thing.

So, in short, the battery overall voltage is too low for the charger. What you're trying to do is boost the voltage so it forces it to accept a charge. The best repair is to open the battery and replace the dead cells. If you have enough dead batteries, you could use good cells from bad batteries to make one good battery. If you wanted, you could buy fresh larger capacity cells for the packs that have had all the good cells taken out. Moral of the story? Don't leave batteries discharged for long periods of time. I would say no more than a day. (overkill? Maybe, but you get good life out of it.) I purposely bought faulty batteries just for salvage parts I want.

People don't realize how important it is to have a generator and be prepared after helene we had no power and the well wont work without electricity it was horrible and specially with small kids for 17 days it won't happen to me again thanks for the tips

how did you fare during MILTON/HELENE?

Does the ez start save on your normal electric bill as well? If so is a no brainer

This is a great review of this generator! Showing the Watt output while turning on different items was very enlightening! Great job!

Thanks, the drill method works with my P190 battery. However, as stated in a comment above, I had make the drill hole on the "O" in ryobi.

I'll be damned!

Clean ur condensors .

I have a 1200 westinghouse didn't need a soft start have 3ton ac unit ran the hole house no problem 😊

explain how the micro soft start is going to make your air conditioner run at a lower amperage after the start up. That doesn’t make any sense to me. Totally understand the reduction and start up, but not the running part. I don’t buy it but explain.

It’s nice but I still prefer to have two just incase 😊 I work on generator and I know there not very dependable At least 2 folks

Great titorial

This was a really good video. I've been on the fence about getting this soft starter, but your video has encouraged me to get one. Thanks

I have the same generator and same soft start. It's amazing to be able to run pretty much whole house. Once I have the A/C Going, the generator even allows the well to kick on. Clean power is awesome, no issues. I only wish the gas tank was a bit bigger, but I'm super happy with the setup.

I've got a 4 ton AC and want to run the fridge, lights, TV. With the Micro-Air and running on Natural Gass, what wattage Generator would you recommend.

Solar panels are a great option for a long term power-out scenario. One of the things people don't talk about much though is that they have a good likelihood of dying during an extreme weather event.

Where did you get that male to male 50amp plug from?

That's some genius sh*taki! Didn't work for mine, but I'm thoroughly impressed to see you Plan B'd that crap and conquered it. These batteries are outrageously expensive to be so fragile and undependable

I just bought the champion tri fuel generator like yours I haven't received it yet but I did install the micro air easy start last week so I'm looking forward to being able to run my air now when electric goes off i have a 3 ton heat pump my question is have you been satisfied so far with your generator and also how well has it held up running your home

Brilliant! That chicken pot pie looks great! I would do it without the mushrooms. I’m not a mushroom kinda guy. Awesome video!

Thank you! RWB ❤🎉

It worked for me! Thanks Note: drill the holes right on the O for the Neg side & right in between the U & M for a for sure Alignment to the bar you are trying to hit! But Thanks !

It worked!!!! You’re the man!

The family is over, complaining about everything. The rider gets me out of the house.

What a load waffle.

Warum den risikoreichen Weg mit dem bohren der 2 Löcher ins Gehäuse? 5 Schrauben auf, davon eine versteckte und das Gehäuse lässt sich öffnen. english? Why you drill the 2 holes in the battery case? It's risky. Open the 5 screws. 1 of this screw is hidden. And open the case.

No coment!!!

Good video. As you mentioned in your video make sure you get an INVERTER generator if you are going to power up any electronic equipment. This particular Champion generator though it is an inverter generator it is very loud (at least appears to be on this video) because it is “open frame” style. There are a lot quieter inverter generators that are enclosed that will do the same thing but are usually a bit more expensive. May be a better option if you live in an urban environment. In a SHTF scenario you may not want to draw unwanted/unnecessary attention to your home as being the only one in your neighborhood with power.

M O O N spells, he is full of crapp!

Nice shorts

Love watching your videos...didnt realize you've been at it for so long

I could not get half way through. Way too much detail about the pizza shop & his TV😣

Is that a sports car in the garage?

I have 6 champion generators I maintain for myself and neighbors. I use Lucas oil treatment for the cylinder. Position piston to bottom and tilt generator so that cylinder is vertical as possible. Warm up oil treatment to make is more fluid. Just under tbs in cylinder, allow to spread few min. Slowly pull cord few times and install plug. Ethanol free gas is preferred for small engines to reduce corrosion. If not available I make my own using high octane gas with ethanol and separate the gas and ethanol with water and a mister funnel

The solar with battery has cost me over 30 grand in components and did the work myself. It works great but to expensive for what ya get

Brilliantly lekker lekker

The more you talk the more you remind me of Sean Connery.You could play his double.Thanks for the video

Noticed that you didn’t break in your generator as per mfg instructions. At the 15 min mark, the generator showed total run time of less than 20 min. Good video on soft start for your ac. 22:58

I love my micro air. 5 yrs with it and it’s saving me $$$ and extending the lifetime of my 3.5 ton. I can run my whole house with my Duromax 9000ix minus water heater and stove along with the a/c combine but if I need to use the others I can cancel the a/c for the meantime. Nice video.

I firmly believe Micro Air is run by wizards. I bought 2 of their Soft Starts for my 4 ton and my 3 ton units so that when I'm on my 24kw generator I don't get any lights dimming or bogging down. Now both units can spin up almost at the same time, and i don't even notice anything inside the house. The 4 ton went from 110 RLA to 34.8 and the 3 ton went from 59 to 24.1. Absolutely amazing, and they are easy to install and well built. Not cheap though, but worth the cost for what they do.

Great info on the ac data plate and sine wave. The usage of a portable such as this is hugely dependent upon the patience of the user, the total electrical load of the home, and understanding that one is only going to get a limited number of amps from a quick connect You have the knowledge to deal with this. And I really like the video. For the majority of folks watching this….take the trouble to read the electrical code and understand how volt amps and watts and don’t ever forget about resistances! Best portable gen running video I’ve ever seen actually

Your problem is the cheap generators you bought in the past i have a whole house generator also Champion!!! mine charges phone electronics no tv issues even ran Cpap machine havent cranked it up since 2020 havent had no issues around the house but it cost more than 400 dollars and no its not an inverter! Champion 9375/7500

By the way which wire color to make floating neutral...thnx

Good informative video ..i was lookin at the. Champ inverter gen w 50 amp plug.....thnx

3 hours later.. Larry is still out there mowing

Rich and wealthy people got jokes 🤣

HaHaHaHa

Pls talk about rtk postioning?

same best decision i made
