I found your other video where you show how to set up the two wire relay. That’s cool. It’s probably cheaper to just have a battery tender to keep everything charged and ready to go versus burning 20 minutes of gas each week. The real benefit is having the ability for the generator to self start when the batteries reach a certain level. I know you briefly mentioned what it might look like if it were running at night. That would be a cool video add-on to actually see that demo when you exceed the output of the generator. Keep the videos coming you’re showing content that no one else is.👍
I’m using a Westinghouse wgen9500 but you can use any “Transfer Switch Ready” portable generator which means the generator has a connector with 7 to 9 pins. You’ll have to figure out which pins start and stop the generator. The Westinghouse generators are NOT “true 2 wire start/stop” generators. I had to purchase a GSCM Mini to make it work. But, I think the Duromax and Genmax generators only require one wire each for 2 pins for their 2 wire start/stop to work. Here is a video of my setup. th-cam.com/video/_22QAJYwaFE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=M0ordlNTJAX4q2Fm
