When the generator is employed to recharge batteries, attentions should be paid to the specific gravity of electrolyte in each battery.
The specific gravity of an electrolyte varies according to temperature; so it is converted to one in case of 200C.
s20 = St + 0.0007 (t - 20) where
S20: The specific gravity at 200C
St : Measured value
t : Temperature at the time of measurement (Electrolyte)

6-2-3 BATTERY CAPACITY
The battery capacity is expressed in the unit of AH (amperehour). One AH stands for the capacity capable of one ampere current for one hour.
With a generating engine of rated 1000 W output, AC and DC are simultaneously available but, in this case, be careful not to exceed the total power consumption.
50 Hz | below 700 W |
60 Hz | below 900 W |
Note: Max. DC output | is 100 W (12V x 8.3A). |
