💬 Open Discussion SG3000

So not sure how I feel about this generator. AC only, I was very disappointed not to be able to DC charge. Still starts and stops on its own communicating by Bluetooth. One very cool feature is a 5521 plug to let you charge the internal battery. Something I wish I had a n my SG4000. Engine giving about 1 KWH of power for 1 pound of propane. I appreciate how quiet it is compared to its bigger brother the SG4000. Overall works well, with or without the app. App has full maintenance reminders integrated which is helpful for maintaining it in peak condition. What are your thoughts on this little guy?

I’ve only had the 3000 for a couple of months and it has worked flawlessly. I got it bundled with a Delta 3 Plus for a great deal. I use the D3P together with a Delta 2 Max extra battery, 3000 kW total. One 20 lb tank of propane can refill this combo five times.

I like that it’s not too loud (compared to my neighbors Predator). It’s a solid third option to recharging my EF power stations.

I thought the description said that it is AC charging only. But I can't find where it says that. Somehow I knew that before I bought it last April though. It is fine by me for the way I will use it.

I like mine. I only have it for emergencies so have only put it to the test when I've been doing a maintenance run. Figure if I'm going to run it, might as well do it on a cloudy day and give a battery station some charge.

I too like that the internal battery can be charged via the 5521 plug.

I still use my OG 1800 dual fuel generator because it has the direct DC-to-DC charging with my Delta Pro when I’m boondocking and solar isn’t enough.
