well as per usual we now hung a Square D rainproof breaker panel on the other end of the generator housing and set some weatherproof receptacles up under it..a couple of L14-30 120/240V twist-lock receptacles and some 120V-20A receptacles on GFI breakers. So maybe we can step back from it for a while? yeah right..so then a battery charger/maintainer came to mind to save the $150 battery from going flat..naturally that will require a panel-mounted male plug so we can plug that in..-see it never stops Sonny
