Well, I finally pulled the plug and purchased a remanufactured Champion 2000 watt generators. Got it the other day, put oil and gas in it and it fired up on the second pull. I then plugged in a drill, circular saw and a fan and it did just fine. Put in on econ mode and it was so silent I talked on the phone standing right next to it. I thought I would take it down and charge the batteries up in the 5ver but didn't have the accessory charger cable so I went to Cabalas and the guy down there told me not to use that cable, has a tendency to over charge the battery. He suggested just hooking up a battery charger to the generator and then charging the battery, he said that method was much safer. I will try that tomorrow. Anyhow, so far so good and I only ended up paying $350.00. Oh, by the way, I contacted Champion prior to my purchase and they stated that all remanufactured generators are as good or better than the new ones because they put in all the newest parts. We will see how that works.
