Briggs & Stratton 30675 12,000 Watt 20 HP 120/240V Standby Generator with Automatic Transfer Switch Ready LOW-BATTERY Error Fix: Low Battery — Starter Battery Voltage Low

The starter battery voltage has dropped below the acceptable level (typically below 12V). The generator may not crank fast enough to start reliably. Standby generators keep the battery charged via a built-in trickle charger whenever utility power is present. If the battery is low despite the charger, the charger may have failed (see CHARGER FAULT), the battery may be old and unable to hold a charge, or the battery connections may be corroded. Test battery voltage with a multimeter — should be 12.6V or higher when fully charged. Clean the battery terminals. Batteries in standby generators typically last 3-5 years and should be replaced proactively.
