I took a quick look at the installation manual, including schematic, just in case there was a sign of a 12V battery charger winding on the main generator, and found nothing.
Look like it really is designed to be an on-grid backup generator only, although I think that it might also be able to run the smart battery charger off the generator when it is running. Since the control panel runs of grid, there is no reason to try to conserve battery power. <sigh>
I did notice that there are optional battery, carburetor and fuel regulator heaters, but they appear to be AC powered.
