Can anyone provide me the model of a portable generator with over 7,500 watts that can automatically be stated by the Classic 150 (aux 1 port) when the batteries reach a certain level?

You might want to ask Trukinbear - he has mentioned his generator on a different discussion .

Also if you go to the first home page of Midnite forums and do a search from there you can see past discussions of autostart generators. The search only works from main forum page.

I thought I got a message asking me about this, but never could find it again, sorry.

I use an Atkinson GSCM mini-i to convert two wire to three wire start. Almost all your Onan generators (but not ALL) can be started this way. They should have a list of Generators and which unit starts them.

Oh, and I couldn't be happier with my Cummins Onan Quiet Diesel QD8000 (8HDKAK) inverter generator - also comes in 6KW, 7KW, 8KW, and 10KW.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

They were very helpful and I  ordered the items listed below and opted to go with a Kubota GL11000 â€" 11,000 Watt Lowboy II Series Industrial Diesel Generator.

Lets hope it does what I need and i can follow instructions and get it installed so batteries will get charged when they are 50% and the sun is not shinning!

Great choice, I've had several units with that Kubota diesel, fine engines.
