What can the Champion 201535 power?

Its 6500 starting watts and 5000 running watts on gasoline handle a fridge, furnace blower, lights and a few small appliances. Running watts drop on propane and natural gas, so plan loads accordingly.

Does it work with a home transfer switch?

Yes. StartLINK lets the generator auto start and stop when paired with a compatible transfer switch, so backup power comes on without you being home.

Champion rates it around 64 dBA at quarter load, quieter than most open-frame units. It gets louder as load rises.

What comes in the box?

The generator, a wireless remote fob, a battery, a wheel kit and a propane hose are typically included. Check the listing for the exact bundle.

Can I run it on natural gas at home?

Yes, with a natural gas supply and the included hose or a quick-connect kit. Expect lower output than gasoline.

How often does it need maintenance?

Change the oil after the first 30 hours, then about every 100 hours or seasonally. Check the spark plug and air filter yearly.

About the Champion 6500W Wireless Start Tri Fuel Inverter 201535

This is a 6500-watt portable inverter generator that runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas. It has a Champion 224cc OHV engine and produces less than 3% total harmonic distortion (THD), so it can power EV charging and sensitive electronics. It runs at 64 dB(A).

The generator starts with a wireless remote key fob from up to 80 ft. away, or with the push-button electric start on the unit. StartLINK is a wired connection to an Energy Storage System (ESS) or Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). It enables auto start/stop and 120V AC battery charging for the generator's battery.

CO Shield® monitors carbon monoxide (CO) buildup and automatically shuts off the engine if it detects unsafe levels. It is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation. The generator must always be used outdoors, far from occupied buildings, with the exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. It meets ANSI/PGMA G300 requirements.
