AC power but they do need their battery to remain charged. For this reason, they do come with an integrated charger, but if you have a more efficient charger then you can leave the 120V AC input on the gen set disconnected and just hook up the better charger.
There's plenty of space in the generator enclosure for an aftermarket charger. Or if you have a good spare 12V solar panel laying around with a charge controller, then you shouldn't need to use a 120V charger at all </span></font><font face="Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">\U0001f609</span></font>

HI All,<br>
<br>
I\u2019ve got a new project wanting a 22-25kw single phase 120/240vac water cooled propane sound attenuated generator for an off grid situation. I\u2019m not going to be<br>
With AGS activation.<br>
<br>
I\u201dve been looking at the Kohler 24 RCL ( meets all the above criteria) but I\u2019m checking to see if I can get it to work with 2 wire AGS.<br>
<br>
Onan also has one as well.<br>
<br>
Are there any other make/models that people would recommend or would caution me against?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
