I had the dealer install a Kohler Gen which included a remote LCD start/stop panel. After pushing the stop button the gen. turns off but the display stays lit. According to the manual will stay lit for 48 hrs. before going out. I used the gen. several days ago and this morning I found the gen. battery dead. According to the dealer I should have turned off the gen battery if not returning for several days to prevent the battery going dead due to the display staying on. The dealer told me that the gen. battery only gets charged when the gen. is running since it is not connected to the engine/house batteries. I'm curious if anyone else has the same situation or do I have something wrong.
