  • STARTER SYSTEM FOR PORTABLE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE ELECTRIC GENERATORS USING A PORTABLE UNIVERSAL BATTERY PACK
    Publication number: 20080265844
    Abstract: A portable power driven system has a manually movable frame. In one example, an internal combustion engine and a generator device that generates AC power are supported on the frame. The internal combustion engine drives the generator device. An electrically powered starting device is coupled to the internal combustion engine and is controllable by a remote ignition system to enable the start-up of the internal combustion engine from a remote location. A control panel is coupled to the frame and includes at least one AC outlet and a battery receptacle that is electrically coupled to the starting device. The battery receptacle is materially the same as a foot of a cordless power tool that receives a battery pack.
