Features
OVERVIEW
The generator made for renewable energy, including solar power or other remote applications. The KOHLER 6VSG battery-charging generator efficiently charges battery banks when renewable energy sources can't keep up with demand. If your battery charge drops below a pre-set level, the 6VSG charges it automatically.
  • High Quality Power - The 6VSG provides consistent off-grid DC power to charge battery banks used with renewable energy, telecom and other remote applications.
  • Automatic - The generator senses when the battery bank is running low and turns on automatically to keep up with demand.
  • Quiet & Economical - Variable speed helps to keep noise low and reduce fuel consumption as compared to fixed-speed AC generators.
  • Premium Warranty - Kohler is known for extraordinary reliability and performance and backs that up with a 5-year or 2000 hour limited warranty (on grid) that covers parts, labor and travel for the full warranty period.
