Generac 7101 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Generac 7101 battery heater work on my older Generac standby generator?
Only on Generac units built from 2008 forward. The 7101 pad warmer is compatible with Generac air cooled units manufactured 2008 to present, so anything older than that is out of scope for this accessory.
2) Do I need a battery heater if my Generac standby has an AGM battery?
No. The 7101 pad warmer is not necessary for use with AGM-style batteries. It is intended for conventional lead acid batteries in cold climates, specifically locations that regularly drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
3) Is there anything else I have to change on the generator when I install a cold weather kit?
Yes, the oil. When installing any cold weather item, including the 7101 battery pad warmer, the engine oil must be replaced with 5W-30 synthetic. Plan on that as part of the same service visit or the cold weather package is incomplete.
4) How does the Generac 7101 battery heater mount, and will it fit in my battery tray?
It is a pad style warmer that simply rests underneath the battery, so there is no bracket or drilling involved. The pad measures 10 inches long by 6 inches wide by 3 inches high, which is the footprint to check against the space in your battery tray.
5) Is the Generac 7101 battery heater UL listed for use in a facility that requires listed equipment?
The 7101 air cooled battery heater is UL Listed, ETL Listed, and CSA Certified, which covers the usual listing requirements for institutional and commercial installations, including Canadian jobs.
6) When should a property manager add a battery heater to a standby generator?
Add it where the site regularly sees temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold drops the cranking capacity of a flooded battery, and the 7101 pad sits under the battery to keep it warm so the unit starts on a winter outage. If the generator already uses an AGM battery, skip it.
7) What is the Generac 7101 pad warmer made of and does it hold up in an outdoor enclosure?
The pad body is rubber, finished in orange, and it is made in the United States. Rubber construction is what lets it sit flat under the battery inside the generator enclosure without a rigid housing.
8) How much does the Generac 7101 battery heater weigh for shipping?
The heater pad itself weighs 2 pounds; assembled and packed it is listed at 6 pounds. It is a small accessory item, not a freight piece.
