Power & Run Time

The Pulsar G65BN

With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile Pulsar G65BN provides an output of 120/240V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 5500W along with a peak wattage of 6500W. While propane-powered, it provides 4900 rated watts and 5800 starting watts.

Enjoying a noise rating of 73 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a dishwasher), this generator gets running thanks to a simple traditional pull-start mechanism.

As for its running time, the G65BN, along with its 5.2 gallons fuel capacity, can run for around 11.5 hours at 50% load with a full tank filled with gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.45 GPH). If propane is used, it can operate for around 7 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.67 GPH).

Outlets

The control panel includes the following 6 AC outlets:

It also sports 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A output with which charging your batteries is made easy.

Thanks to its TT-30R receptacle (TT stands for 'Travel Trailer'), this Pulsar generator is RV Ready. In addition, due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the G65BN is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.

Portability

The Pulsar G65BN has a conventional, open frame design, of the following dimensions: L27 x W20 x H19 in, which offers support and allows it to be raised above ground level. The generator is designed for ideal use outdoors and in rough environments.

Even though this device may be technically portable (as in movable), manipulation and transportation without special equipment can be a challenge, as it weighs 126 pounds. However, this lack of maneuverability is compensated by its wheel kit and its folding handle, with which you can conveniently shift it, once it's on the ground.

Features

The G65BN's control panel

The G65BN's status and activity may be monitored conveniently via the control panel, as it features a convenient meter, which displays voltage, frequency and lifetime hours.

In addition to this info, a light indicator allows you to instantly see if the oil level is too low.

A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the generator.

Security-wise, this product benefits from an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, which gives you a complete peace of mind when using it.

Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), useful for starting the generator right away, the Pulsar G65BN's package also includes these accessories: tool kit and propane hose.

Emissions

The Pulsar G65BN is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. It can therefore be sold and purchased in all 50 states, including California.

Moreover, it features a spark arrestor and thus, may be used in forested areas.
