MEP-802A Battery advice

[webboc]

Yes a very good idea, even better if you have this genset close to a dwelling. You could plumb some conduit underground from the machine to the dwelling. Use a NATO fitting and appropriately sized wires at the machine, underground, into the dwelling direct to (2) 12V batteries. That way even if they undid this connection, they would then have to hunt out the other end.

Thanks Light in the Dark. Great idea but the position of the generator and changeover switch are directly adjacent to my living room and the wife will not appreciate the batteries installed in there.
