Genesis Defender Generator Series

Defender 3.5kW Generator (120VAC)

Resilient Long Term Power Solutions

The Genesis Defender Generator Series  are custom compact dual fuel generators specifically configured to connect and support a variety of BlackStarTech battery backup power systems. This configuration allows BlackStarTech’s backup power systems, such as the Genesis Power Cart Series, the ability to provide long term power for 30 days or more. The Defender Series complements BlackStarTech’s rapidly deployable power systems by delivering reliable backup power and serving as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

This dual fuel generator produces 3500 peak watts and 3200 running watts. It can last up to 16 hours on the two 20-lb propane cylinders or 9 hours on 3.4-gallon tank of gasoline. Each unit’s control panel comes with an electric start switch, an economy switch to run quietly and efficiently, and a circuit breaker, while displaying output overload information. Also incorporated are various outlets including the following:
• 2 120V 30A (TT-30R)
• 2 120V 20A household outlets (5-20R)
• 1 12V DC automotive-style outlet with dual USB adapter

Propane-Powered Defender Generator Series vs. Diesel Generators from Competitors

BlackStarTech’s Genesis Power Cart Series coupled with integrated Defender Generator Series serve as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that can run for 30 days or more. The Defender complements the Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries that are utilized across the BlackStarTech product line, delivering paramount portable power.

The combined battery from the Power Cart Series and Defender Generator Series provides a means to initially deploy the battery energy system and carry critical loads while the generator can be configured later to supply the loads indefinitely. The battery system is optimized with the support from the Defender Generator Series, as it’s designed to carry the supplied load while simultaneously recharging the batteries. If the generators or any line AC source is removed, the Genesis power system batteries automatically swap into use to carry the electrical load without interruption. The whole system becomes a default UPS to maintain your critical and essential electrical loads.
