Nature's Generator Elite - Gold System

Hi Joel, Thank you for your query. As much as possible, we highly recommend that you source your replacement parts through us, mainly to avoid voiding the warranty and for assured compatibility. Although, in theory, what you asked is possible as long as the right specifications are met. However, regarding the lithium replacement, this is something that the battery management in the generator does not currently support therefore, this is not going to be viable. If you have any follow-up questions, you may contact us either via phone, chat, or email at support@naturesgenerator.com.

Hi Richard, Thank you for your query. Nature's Generator Elite - Gold System includes the main generator unit and 2 solar panels only, It does not include the power pod. If you have additional queries, you can also send us an email to support@naturesgenerator.com

Hi Stephan, Thank you for your query. Yes, the generator can run while charging via AC/Solar/Wind. If you have any follow-up queries, you can send us an email at support@naturegenerator.com

Nature's Generator has taken considerable time to review the different battery options.  While both provide pros and cons, we ultimately decided to choose the safer and more affordable option, which is the 60ah/100Ah sealed-lead acid. Sadly, the charge controller and the battery management system installed in the generator will not be able to support a 200ah battery. If you have additional queries or any follow-up questions, please do not hesitate to send an  email to support@naturesgenerator.com

Hi Jason, the system is limited to 12V, If you have any follow-up questions, kindly send us an email to support@naturesgenerator.com

Hi Anthony Forcina, thank you for your query. Actually, having to avoid the battery being depleted is best for the battery as it actually prolongs its overall lifespan. Regarding AC and solar charging, you can simultaneously charge both ways it's way faster and no worries, your opinions, and feedback is highly appreciated, we'll be more than happy to let the team know, for future features and improvements. If you have further questions, you may send us a direct query at support@naturesgenerator.com we'll be more than happy to assist you!

Hi, the Elite unit (Generator and pods) can support 3 solar panels each at most. The more solar panels that you connect, the faster the system will charge. Feel free to send us a direct message at support@naturesgenerator.com if you have further questions.

Hi, an Elite gold system is tested to run a full-size fridge/freezer for 13-20 hours on a single charge. The maximum power output is 3600-Watts and as long as your appliances are within the specified wattage, they can run. If you have additional queries, please send us an email at support@naturesgenerator.com.

Hello Wil,

Thanks for your inquiry. 

Nature's generator solar panel can still charge even if it is not getting full sunlight. Just be reminded that the charging efficiency might decrease and might result in a longer charging time if the panels are not getting full sunlight. 

You may also charge the generator on your wall outlet using the AC cable included in the package. 

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

Thanks,
Nature's Generator Support Team

Hello Kade,

Thanks for your inquiry.

I appreciate your time reaching us. If you will just have the Gold system you are unable to run this AC unit, since it has only 1200Wh battery capacity same goes with your microwave and heater. Using the Nature's Generator Power Panel - Estimated recharge time: 10 - 12 hrs. Just to set your proper expectations, our products are built to power small appliances and if you really want to power that equipment you will need to have an elite generator and add approximately 8 to 10 pods. It will cost you a lot.

Thanks,

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your query. 

No, daisy-chaining an Elite is not currently possible. If you're looking to extend your battery capacity, you can actually daisy chain an unlimited number of Elite power pods to greatly increase your battery capacity. If you have more questions please send us a direct email at support@naturesgenerator.com

Hi Wayne, thank you for the query. No, Our Nature's Generators come with a built-in charge controller that will prevent overcharging from happening. If you have further questions, you may send us a direct email at support@naturesgenerator.com, thank you!

Yes, older appliances can be powered by the Generator as long as these are compatible to run on 120 volt AC and are within the required wattage which is supported by the Generator. If you have additional questions, please feel free to email us at support@naturesgenerator.com, we'll be more than happy to assist you.

Hello AJ,

Thanks for your inquiry.

You can run a 1,500 w space heater on our Nature's Generator Elite - Gold System, However you can only run it for an average of 30 minutes. If you want to extend the run time, you can consider adding some power pods. 

Each power pod can extend the run time for an average of 45mins - 1hour.

The recharge time of Nature's Generator will also be dependent on the amount of sunshine the Power Panel is receiving on any given day. Fewer clouds and more direct sunshine will help the charging performance. Adding additional Power Panels lessens the recharge time. Nature's Generator can handle up to 200 watts of solar recharging power and Nature's Generator Elite can handle up to 300 watts of solar recharging power.

Should you have any other concern please email us directly at support@naturesgenerator.com

Hello Juan,

Thanks for reaching us!

It will depend on how many BTU's your A/C have. We have Nature’s Generator Window AC Package. If your A/C runs 6000 BTU approximately 16 hours of total run time if you were to use our Nature’s Generator Window AC Package. Much better if you can give us the exact BTU of your A/C for us to determine it as well.

Hello-

Please see below reason why we went with SLA vs Lithium.

1. Lithium does not have the ability to expand the system further than one battery.  Meaning with using sealed lead-acid like our unit does, you can expand infinitely by adding more batteries to increase the run time of your items and also allowing to add additional solar panels to decrease the recharge time of the entire system.
2. Reliability is another reason.  Companies like Tesla and Samsung use lithium batteries and they have had issues in the past with items catching on fire.  The quality control is critical with Lithium batteries and our volume cannot compete with the companies mentioned above and if they are having quality issues, we would most likely experience similar issues just in a larger volume.  It is not worth the risk or harm to our customers to save weight on the product.
3. Cost is a large consideration as well.  Lithium batteries are very expensive in comparison to sealed lead-acid and our mission is and has been to deliver a high quality product at affordable price points for our customers.
4. Lithium batteries do not perform well in colder temperatures.  Colder temperatures can degrade the output ability of a lithium battery.
5. The lithium battery technology is new, 25 years old whereas sealed lead-acid has been in existence for over 100 years.  There is a significant sense of reliability and trust.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for reaching out with your concern. The solar and wind input of the generator is not the same since using a wind turbine to the solar input of the generator is not compatible, same thing with solar panels going to wind input. The reason is that they use different charge controllers. The charge controller of the solar panels is built inside the generator while the wind turbine have an external charge controller built-in the cable of the wind turbine. If you have any follow-up questions, you may reach our support directly via (800) 975-7909, or email us at support@naturesgenerator.com. We'll be more than happy to assist you!
