Hi Guys,
Bought a Westinghouse 9500DF generator last August, have used it a couple of times for purposes of breaking it in, worked flawlessly.
Yesterday, in anticipation of running it today, I plugged in the built-in battery charger and let it trickle overnight. Today, when I turned the unit on, I got no lights or other indication that it was alive. Naturally, the push-start and remote start did not function. I figured the battery might have bit the dust, so I pull-started it and let it run for about 30 minutes, running a portable A/C, and a few other higher-draw small appliances to help break it in. It will also charge its own battery while it runs, which I thought might resolve the earlier 'dead' issue. I shut it down, turned the main power switch back on, and it's still dead.
My volt meter reads 13.6 volts from that battery.
Any ideas what may be going wrong? I literally put the cover back on after the last use, and haven't touched it since then. There is no sign of foul play by pests, everything is in place and no dirt, grass, or anything anywhere. I'm stumped to the point that I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
