Recently had a 2x 6000XP + 2x PowerPro installed to provide emergency UPS backup. The batteries should give us ~2 days of backup, but just in case the grid is down longer than that I'd like to get a small 5-8kW dual-fuel generator that I can drag outside and charge the batteries.
It shouldn't get much use, so efficiency isn't super important. Really just looking for something cheap-ish that will provide a bail-out in the rare longer than 2-day outages.
Current front-runner is the WEN DF1100X. It seems to check all the boxes: cheap-ish, good THD, power output, etc.
Would that work?
Other makes/models I should look at?
Any other considerations that I need to take into account? Seems like I should be able to plug it in to the GEN port on the outside, start it up, and as long as the 6000XP are configured correctly they will start charging the batteries.
Thanks
