Nature's Generator Battery Charger / Maintainer

Hi -- Does the Battery Charger Maintainer also have the capability to plug into wall outlet in order to charge the battery in a Natures Generator? My Generator's onboard charger is not working for some reason . I was wondering if this Battery Charger Maintainer could be used to charge the battery if I remove the top of the generator and attach the clips directly to the battery terminals.

Hello, 

Thanks for your inquiry.

Nature's Generator battery charger / Maintainer was made solely to keep the battery maintained or charged when you're not going to use the Generator for a long period of time. The wall charger cord that originally comes with it is still faster to charge than the battery maintainer. We do not recommend using the battery maintainer accessory to charge the generator for everyday use.

Should you have any concerns or questions, please email us at support@naturesgenerator.com.

If I am only using this generator when the power goes out do I keep it hooked to the solar panel or wind turbine constantly or should I use the generator periodically or what is the best way to maintain the generator while not using it? do I keep the wind turbine on all the time or is there a way to keep it spinning without it producing electricity, or will it wear itself out eventually? Thank you.

Hi, Gary. Thank you for the query, it is best to leave the Generator in a state wherein, the solar panels and the wind turbine are connected. This way, the battery will be at its peak performance until the time that you'll use it again. No need to worry about overcharging, for a built-in charge controller will avoid this from happening. If you have additional queries, please send us an email to support@naturesgenerator.com

Can you charge the unit from wall socket and still power up the same house.

Hello Javier,

Thanks for your inquiry.

I appreciate your time reaching us. If using it or powering at the same time the house while charging, yes you can do that on our generator.


Please let me know if you have any other concerns and I'll be more than happy to assist you.

is there a way to add power to the generator by hooking up one or more 12V batteries to the system? If so what connectors would i need?

Hi Wanda, thank you for your query. What you can do is purchase a Nature's Generator power pod, in order to further expand your battery capacity. You can Daisy-chain an unlimited number of pods, and these include a built-in expansion cable, therefore there's no need to purchase additional items to do this. If  you have more questions, please reach us by support@Naturesgenerator.com

How would I be able to charge my Power pod using my car’s battery while I drive? I called customer service and they recommended this accessory, but I see this is NOT for that use. Is there another accessory or protocol that can achieve this?

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.

You can plug connect the alligator clamp directly to the battery by opening the top part of the generator and the other end on the cigarette charger.

My natures generator is broken so, I can use this to charge my pod along with solar panels? Can I charge it with the 12v outlet in the front only or can I charge from the back as shown in the picture? Thanks for your support

Hello Gabriela,

Thanks for reaching us!

Yes, you can still use the 12v socket, and also for the photo that you sent you can directly drop it at Support@naturesgenerator.com

OK, why is the battery charger/maintainer faster to recharge the Natures Generator than just plugging the same generator unit directly into the house current with the supplied power cord?

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your query.

Actually Nature's Generator battery charger / Maintainer was made solely to keep the battery maintained or charged when you're not going to use the Generator for a long period of time.

What's the need or difference between having the Natures generator plugged directly into shore (home) power or this battery charger/maintainer?

Hello Dan,

Thanks for reaching us!

The main difference between those two was the battery recharge time it would be a lot faster to charge it onshore the battery charger.

I Previously purchased 2 systems; a Gold and a Gold WE. Can I use this to charge from a pod or generator to a pod or generator in case of very low power levels?

Hello-

Thanks for reaching out to us!

You can use the Power Pod and connect it to a Nature's Generator and will assist with battery capacity when the generator battery is low, but you would not be able to connect generator to generator.


Thank you,
Nature's Generator Support Team

Not enough info/explanation seems to be provided regarding the purpose of this item. Same goes with each product you offer. Please please expand on the use of this item including all possibilities of it use. This should not be hard considering your company is the manufacturer. Thanks in Advance.

Hello-

Thanks for reaching out to us!

A battery maintainer is essentially a battery charger that's designed to supply your battery with a small amount of electricity for long periods of inactivity, to assist in recharging.  You can use it to recharge the Power Pod or Nature's Generator via the 12V DC input. Or you can use the clamps to connect to any other battery to recharge, does not need to be specifically used for our product.

How long would it take to charge from a wall outlet.

Hello-

Thanks for reaching out to us!

To better assist, can you please let us know what you are charging from the AC wall outlet?


Thanks,
Nature's Genertor Support Team

Does this enable you to charge a pod from a wall outlet even if the pod is not connected to the generator?

Hello-

Yes, you would be able to connect the 12V input into the Power Pod and charge it via AC outlet.


Thanks,

I have the generator and two pods. If I plug this into one of the pods in the daisy chain will it also maintain and charge the the Generator?

Hello-

Thanks for reaching out to us!

If you connect a Power Pod to the Nature's Generator it will provide additional run time, it will not unfortunately charge the generator battery.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist with.


Thanks,
Nature's Generator Support Team

How does this charge the battery? What power source must be used?

Hello:

The battery maintainer is more designed to work with our power pod if you are unable for any reason to connect to the generator. 

You would input the 12v male end of the battery maintainer and input that into the female DC port on the power pod and then connect that to a wall outlet to charge/maintain.

Thanks,

Support Team @ Nature's Generator

Does the battery charger/maintainer come with the platinum system or does it have to be ordered seperately

No. The charger/maintainer is not included in the platnium system.
