I saw a used Ridgid generator for sale on line equipped with a battery tender/charger for electric start models, That you plug into a 110 outlet.  Can I add this part to my Ridgid generator?  Does anyone know the part number or the model# of the generator

If the generator has an eight gallon tank how long will it run. We have only lights and 2  refrigerators running on it.
