Nexus
Low Battery
Low battery voltage
Electrical · Warning
Nexus low battery is a warning, not a shutdown. The manual says the controller displays Low Battery Voltage if battery voltage stays below 11.9 VDC for one minute. It clears on its own if voltage rises above 12.4 VDC. No other action is taken.
Seen on: Air-cooled generators with the Nexus controller covered by the Nexus diagnostic manual.
Likely causes
- A battery that is not holding a charge.
- A charger that is not keeping the battery above 12.4 volts.
- A parasitic draw.
Checks an owner can do
- Look at the battery for loose or corroded cables with the generator off.
- If you use a charger, follow the battery maker's instructions. Do not boost the battery while the controller is connected unless the owner manual allows it.
When to call a pro
If it will not stay above the clear point, the battery and the generator's charger need a load test and a charger check.
