Benn,
The only thing I have heard about NL generators was about 5 years ago there were some issues with a generator in Alaska that used a capacitive coupled regulator that didn't like the way Outback loaded it down when charging batteries. The only thing that helped was the addition of a $600 dollar tank circuit that helped but didn't really fix the problem. The customer ended replacing the Regulator with an electronic control that finally fixed the issue. Steve Higgins. Sr Application Engineer. Sub-Saharan Africa Business Dev Mgr.

It will likely be coupled with two Outback VFX3648's and a 1500 to 2500 amp/hr battery. Any experiences with pairing Lister generators with an auto-start set up? Northern Lights Generators has also come highly recommended, any experiences? Also, for this colder region, i'm looking for pros/cons of having the back-up gen installed indoors (garage or shop) as opposed to outdoors; to protect it somewhat from the extreme cold weather so it will have less trouble starting when it is needed.
