We add a 30 watt PV mod. And a small CC to keep it topped off. We do this to all the new Onan's Too.

I hope we don't have to wait 'til oil and coal run out before we tackle that." -Thomas Edison, in conversation with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, March 1931 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Drake Chamberlin Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2009 1:52 PM To: RE-wrenches Subject: [RE-wrenches] Kohler 8.5 RES Hello Wrenches A client is interested in a Kohler 8.5 RES. Looking at the archives, it seems likely that these can be rewired for full output at 120 V, and it should be possible to separate the neutral from the frame ground. Does this seem correct for this particular unit? The system is fully off grid. It is unclear to me if anyone has found a way to stop the power drain of the system electronics without draining the starter battery?
