Subject: RE: BS: Jump starting an engine
So.... here is THE deal... got a battery in a generator that won't hold a charge (Honda makes em that way... the charging system is designed so ya gotta run the genie for hours ta get a decent charge and stand-by genies just don't get that kinda use) and I wanna know if I can use a Crappy Tire 12V "PowerPak" ta boost it ta start the genie if my back gives out again, which it just might if I gotta use the pull start. Sounds like I shouldn't... sounds like I can.

I bought an intelligent battery charger at Crappy but the battery is on it's last legs.

Mind you, I don't even know if the genie battery is 6V or 12V. The manual doesn't say. Honda.ca don't neither. I could call the Honda surgeon but they are closed for the day. In any case, I am ejoying the discussion.
