Battery Charger Replacement

There are some common signs a battery charger needs to be replaced in your standby generator. Battery voltages that read either too high or too low are indicative of a bad charger. Bad battery chargers often lead to frequent battery replacements. If you are repeatedly changing your battery that is a sure sign something could be wrong with your generator's charger. Generator batteries typically last 3-5 years. This is often the culprit if you find yourself replacing the battery more frequently, like every 1-2 years.

Contactor Replace in Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)

If you ever lose power and the power comes back on, but doesn't return to full power , the contactor could be the culprit. Some old contactors were constructed with a plastic hand. That hand slaps down fast when the generator automatically changes over from normal power to generator power or from generator power back to normal power. The switch must occur very quickly to avoid arching. A slow switch will cause pitching on the contacts. Over time the forceful impact will weaken the plastic hand on the contact and the hand can snap. When this occurs a new contact will need to be installed. The new contacts were redesigned with a more durable plastic and stronger rung.
