BRUTAL COLD! Will a 5KW Military Diesel Generator Run at -24°?

It’s -24°F real feel outside, solar production is struggling, and the batteries still need to be charged! 🥶⚡ In this video, I fire up my MEP-802A 5KW military diesel generator to help keep my off-grid battery bank charged when the solar panels just can’t keep up. This is exactly why I like having multiple ways to produce power. Solar is great when the sun cooperates, but during extreme winter weather, having a reliable diesel generator as backup can make a huge difference. We’ll see how the MEP-802A performs in brutally cold weather, how I use it alongside my solar system, and how well it works for charging the battery bank. If you're interested in off-grid solar, LiFePO4 batteries, military generators, backup power, DIY solar systems, and emergency preparedness, this one is for you! 👍 LIKE the video if you enjoy this kind of real-world testing. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to AVERAGE JOE for more DIY solar, batteries, generators, off-grid projects, and product reviews. 💬 QUESTION: What’s the coldest temperature you’ve ever run a diesel generator in?
