Generac 6808 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is actually included in the Generac 6808 PowerPact cold weather kit?
Two heating components come in the 6808 kit: a battery pad warmer with its own internal thermostat, and a crankcase heater. The pad keeps the starting battery warm so it holds cranking power, and the crankcase heater keeps engine oil from thickening.
2) At what outdoor temperature do I need a cold weather kit on a PowerPact standby generator?
Generac calls for the kit where temperatures regularly drop below 32 degrees F. If your site sees sustained freezing weather, the 6808 maintains battery and engine oil temperature so the generator starts and loads when the utility drops. In a mild climate that never holds below freezing, it isn't required.
3) Do I need a thermostat or controller to run the Generac 6808 battery warmer?
No separate control is needed. The battery pad warmer in the 6808 kit has an internal thermostat, so it cycles on its own based on temperature rather than running continuously or needing an external switch.
4) Will a cold weather kit help a standby generator that cranks slowly in winter?
That is the problem it addresses. Cold kills battery cranking capacity and stiffens engine oil, which is why the 6808 pairs a thermostatically controlled battery pad warmer with a crankcase heater. Keeping both the battery and the oil warm is what preserves reliable cold starts on a 7 kW PowerPact unit.
5) What is the Generac part number for the PowerPact cold weather kit?
Order Generac 6808. That is the manufacturer part number for the PowerPact cold weather kit covering the 7 kW air-cooled standby unit, and it ships as a single kit rather than separate battery warmer and crankcase heater pieces.
6) Is the Generac cold weather kit something to add at install or can it be retrofitted later?
Either. The 6808 is sold as an accessory kit for the 7 kW PowerPact generator, so it can go on at the time of install or be added to a unit already set before its first winter. It is the same part number in both cases.
