Manufacturer Review
New 17kW Generator
By Tim L. 
Briggs & Stratton Territory Sales Manager
Review Posted 10/14/2019
From the #1 producer of gasoline engines in the world comes the next big thing in standby generators. Our new lines of standby generators offer a new upgraded control system that features multi-line text and graphics, programmable exercise times, and a low speed idle mode to save fuel and reduce noise. With a new AVR that communicates directly with the controller to optimize generator performance and deliver tighter voltage control. Our new three stage battery charger (bulk, absorption and float stages) ensures that your battery is always ready to start the engine when in need. The upgraded alternator delivers more motor starting capability allowing you to power more for less!
