Wrenches, Will This is a hack trick but it can work as long as you don't have failed cells, bring the static voltage up to 26 by adding just one battery, this might be easier on the logistics issue. By doing this you will in the end sacrifice the additional Battery but increasing the static voltage will also increase it under load and reduce the run time of the genny, you will also want to increase the charge voltage settings to accommodate the higher voltage. Yes it's a hack but can help get you through the winter. Fun times
