The 24-volt starting system operates in temperatures ranging from -22° F to 104° F with no warming kit necessary.You’ll have the starting power you need during an emergency since the onboard battery charger maintains the charge at all times, plus, since the generator is connected to your propane or natural gas system, it never needs refueling.
