What happens here

For models with electric start, a deep-cycle cranking battery is installed (e.g., Interstate brand). It's important to keep this battery topped off with a trickle charger or tender if the unit is used infrequently. The burner assembly draws power from the battery, but the engine charges it while running. A weak battery can lead to poor burner performance, as it may not get enough power to ignite consistently.

Goal: Maintain the electric start battery for optimal burner performance.

more of a engineered fuel yep that would be better at for it yeah yeah anything that's not ethanol because then because then here's just my two cents you guys may you know have your opinion on this I run Aspen and you don't have to drain anything at the end of the year five year life span and it doesn't plug anything up it just just keeps going so when you run the right fuel you don't have to deal with the 100 I see a battery on it what are we doing with this so this one is electric okay um they just recently made this model electric starter it used to not be um but they did start making electric so it's got a deep cycle cranking battery like both battery so it's got a basically like a gel type style yeah it's got an interstate battery in it so that Interstate battery's got a two year warranty on it I believe okay that's what we we just put that's what we provide in them um you know you're welcome to put out whatever like what I tell people though any unit if you're only going to use one one day a week yeah throw a tender on it and just have it sitting in the shop with a tent that way that battery's always topped off and the reason why is your burner down here your burner assembly okay is actually pulling juice off of the battery when it's running the motor is charging the battery the motor does charge the battery and while it's running and then the but then the burner is pulling off the battery so if you start the day with a kind of a dead weak battery the burner isn't going to run that great it's going to be kind of Hit or Miss right at the beginning because the battery is not topped off all the way okay yeah all right question for you if guys want more information on a hot seat burner can they where would they go could they reach any Hotsy dealer should they reach out yes for Hotsy it's a
