They do have a battery charger that requires a 120V circuit, and it does draw more than one would like. I run a circuit over and install a tiny battery tender rather than use the factory charger. With a good starter battery and a weekly exercise cycle of thirty minutes, I have found that my indoor installs (temps above 40F) don’t need an auxiliary battery charger, whereas outdoor located genesets that see colder temperatures may not start by the time the excersise cycle rolls around.
